This week I've seen something that gives near-Mapnik quality rendering with,
hopefully, near-trivial installation, configuration and system demands. I
think one comment on IRC was "zomg" which succinctly sums it up.

I won't post the details here yet as hopefully the authors will be
announcing something soon, but I'd just say that if you're a n00b at map
rendering, you might want to hold off on learning Mapnik for now.

(Mapnik is, of course, still amazing and unchallenged for serious heavy-duty
rendering.)

cheers
Richard
