Tiny sites will benefit from the full feature set. Easily add updates/features/content when you come back and make an update months later.
Razor-thin CSS files will leave you writing more CSS later. Cavepaint lets you express your design in the HTML.
Medium-sized sites are a great match for Cavepaint, since it acts like a central repository of design information for a project.
Cavepaint lets you fashion your website on-the-fly to adjust to changing requirements. It's as flexible as HTML and CSS because it is HTML and CSS.
Huge, complicated apps are the best for Cavepaint. The flexibility of the no-workflow approach lets you spin up small projects quickly, without tons of overhead for something as simple as CSS.
When you do need to finally write a substantial portion of your own CSS, you can use the Less preprocessor version of Cavepaint to organize your style codebase.
