Super merci, for consolidation Jacques !
I have read all threads on the UI enhancements and I have alone front my
lack.
If I understand we have some axis of improvement :
* flexibilty to extend ftl macro
* increase the UI interactivity through backbonejs
* Make interface more user friendly with Boostrap + Jquery
All coupled with portlet and we obtains a high permissive interface
without forget he maintainability and the simplicity development.
Ok so just do it :)
For the ftl macro, I'm sure that it's possible to extend the screen
renderer to analyse on the fly the specific attribute need on customer
site. I can start by this point.

This seems a shared perspective (see my comment at
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-5040)
For the common concern about consistent generated HTML source. If we would want
to replace pages currently done with form widgets, and unleashed Freemarker,
this would mean to hide things in macros, right?
I think Adrian's argument about widgets and macros is worth considering
http://markmail.org/message/aysqecll3aolmelz
<<Looking at it another way, with screen widgets you can replace the
existing FreeMarker macros with your own - so the UI can look like anything.
I recently did that for 1Tech Ltd - where I replaced the HTML markup
with Sencha JavaScript.>>
This could be combined with David's suggestion to follow the way Moqui does it
http://markmail.org/message/lohdbc4h2h5jmfil
<<The current implementation in OFBiz parses the XML file into Java classes and
then when rendering generates macro calls to pass the parameters (XML attribute
values, etc) to the FTL macros. A more flexible and extensible approach is to
use the FTL XML processing features directly instead of going through Java
classes. With this approach adding an attribute or support for a whole new
element in the widget XML files is just a matter of adding it to the FTL macros
that process XML elements. >>
I will put that in OFBIZ-5040 as well

Nicolas,
I have dropped idea of this enhancement because it does not seem realistic and
worth continuing.
Over past many years we delivered Ofbiz to many clients, one thing is common,
No body likes UX/UI built using form widgets. Now I
recommend not to use form widgets.
Instead we build UX using Boostrap, JQuery, AngularJS on Freemarker templates.
