Actually, I don't use the form code itself - I use the various widgets.  I
might have used Quixote forms, too, had they been documented when I was
doing all that stuff.  I simply didn't know that they existed.

There *are* various things I might fix with the widgets, when I get a
chance.  I would start by not allowing SingleSelectWidget to ever return
None, which has been a bit of a pain.  And various other little things.
But as a whole, the various widgets help with the deeply tiresome task of
creating HTML forms; I'm glad they are there.
