I have watched several "small projects" with just a few pages quickly 
become programming challenges as functionality, no matter how simple, 
gets added.  Usage examples:

So, you need to keep a session between pages?  How about error 
handling?  Oh, and now someone wants a simple user login and 
authentication of some pages.  For performance, I want to use my scripts 
under mod_perl (or I just think it is cool).

These usage examples illustrate how a simple app can quickly become 
somewhat less simple.  CA provides the framework upon which generalized 
solutions for each of these usage examples can be applied.  It is 
definitely worthwhile climbing the CA learning curve.
