I agree.

That's true, for the javascript part (I personally hate to use XML as a 
programing language).
It is due to some very positive part of qooxdoo : it is not only a js, but an 
OO js.
This is why I like qooxdoo but the consequence is that OO layer is not well 
taken into account by IDE, even javascript IDE.
Also, the Python build toolchain as to be integrated in the IDE.
We did that using Ant script and it works for IntelliJ, Eclipse and NetBeans.
If interested I can post the script that are really small and simple.

Good question. I'm interested ...

Yes and don't forget to mention offline use and local persistence with web 
database.

Yes, fully agree. In France, qooxdoo is mainly unknown.
I was not able to get paid consultancy !
There is an incredible situation for Qooxdoo : so good ant still unknown ... 
(at least in France, not sure elsewhere)
That's a real problem but strangely very few qooxdoo users appears aware of 
that as a problem.
I'd be happy to understand why but this would surely become a hot flaming 
discussion, caution :-)
