What do you exactly mean by a "global runtime" ? It's possible that once installed, you might not have to install it again. But 5-9 MB is quite big for the user the first time he want to download your application.
Evidently from your reply you know what I mean by a "global runtime" ;-)
It's up to you. If you want to support some System features in a crossplatform way, you can do it. Existing haXe libraries for example are working the same on Windows / OSX PPC+Intel (universal binaries) and Linux.
That so far is the biggest benefit I can see from using SWHX over Apollo.
And do you think this is a good thing ? :) When you present a choice to a paying client, you should emphasis with the choice you think is superior technicaly. Hopefuly they are companies that are looking in the details and not only at branding and marketing.
It doesn't matter whether I think it's a good thing or not when it's not my call to make. If I recommend an open source project developed by a couple of guys over a project developed by a company with a large reputation and the time and money to throw at it, and something DOES go wrong.. Who gets it in the ear? You or me?
A lot of Desktop apps are using somehow an embeded database. Having direct access to Sqlite is nice. You don't NEED to use it if you don't want so better to have it than not :)
Yes it's nice, and sometimes beneficial, and sometimes nescessary - but not worth throwing away other benefits for if you're not even going to use it.
Not exactly sure why, except for the "Brand" ? but you admited before that ScreenWeaver has already gained some reputation of its own... Or is this just unfounded discrimination ? ;)
It's true, Screenweaver has gained some reputation. So now 2/10 non-developers might have heard of it. Brand, workflow, trust and reputation, confidence just to name a few. And perhaps the fact that Macrobe can take criticism without crying discrimination ;-)
