Scott, A small group of developers use this technology for quite some years, but it needed some examples from a larger company as Google to fire up the interest.
I see a great future for DOMScript implementations. Licensing based on asp basis becomes more popular and has proven lower total costs of ownership to organizations. More larger companies create web interfaces for their flagship products or have entirely based their products on web interface. Examples in only the CRM market, SuperOffice, Microsoft CRM, Siebel OnDemand, and SalesForce. Once interfaces start to become more complex, the so called Ajax/SPI methods jump in, and we get an whole new range of web applications. I strongly believe in the current situation that XHTML+CSS+SVG+DOMScript is the best possible candidate for complex web user interfaces, because of it's performance capabilities and this will increase once the new specifications for JavaScript are implemented in browsers (with classes, interfaces, constructors, getters/setters, etc). Once the new flash player comes out, it could change, but for now the Flash player isn't capable of handling really complex rich interfaces with a lot of information and options. Too bad, it has the language to handle complex logic. We tried converting an interface, but we soon reached the limit of what Flash can handle. It looked nice, with all the antialiasing, but it didn't provide the power we needed.
