Yes, after switching from JBoss I realised how much nicer it is to get
early warnings at deployment time about potential screwups, missing
JDBC pools and such. Something specific to point at when I try to
explain "attention to details" while discussing the relative merits of
AS-es.

Well, the specific bug we struggled with when migrating was not (and
probably still wouldn't be) caught:
our ejbs were packaged in the ear as a plain jar. JBoss still silently
recognised them, but GlassFish did not.
(which I'm sure is the standard behavior.)
