Some people consider Jelly a good example of a failed implementation, 
although Maven continues to use it.  (I believe a lot of their 
dissatisfaction with it is driving Marmalade for Maven 2, although I 
don't remember all the details.)  If you go looking on the net, 
you'll find diatribes against Jelly.
