I think the wiki answer could use a little modification.  Even just adding a
;-) at the end would make it seem less harsh.

In general, the wiki should probably be written such that there isn't
anything there that would make a non-technical manager frown away from
Hobbit (because it seems there are too many managers out there looking for
any case to replace Hobbit with an [inferior/overly complex] pay-ware
solution).
