"Simplest possible" is fine until you find that the stand out nicest system was designed exactly for your simplest case but completely fails to allow you to do some of the non-trivial stuff required by your real application. Sure, you can get a feel for how the tools work by writing a Hello World application using each tool, but that is no where near enough to actually evaluate their performance over the long haul for real tasks.
To avoid writing a major application using each of the candidate tools a good technique is to ask other people for their opinion then filter the candidate tools down to a small number for serious assessment.
True laziness is hard work

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
