I have been playing around with WebIt! for the past week. It lacks a 
reference manual for one. For two, it is built on top of SXML and I have 
found SXML to be enough for my uses. Also, I can get quick help on 
#scheme with SXML as it has a larger userbase. Finally Webit! only runs 
under plt-scheme whereas SXML and SSAX work under most major scheme 
platforms.

I also find it aggravating that I must prefix my HTML commands with h4 
in Webit! whereas in SXML I can simply list the HTML command.

The author of WebIt! is very responsive to user queries.
