I downloaded 2.0 and some tools and made a quick app that would allow my
intranet site at work to reside in a browser that "slides" in and out when
you mouse over an edge of your monitor. It was cool and very easy to do.
However, as I look at some of the code I can't help think J++. I know there
(or at least it appear as though there was) is a unix flavor but it seems
very platform specific. Their proprietary scripting language is very
javascript-esque and they seem to rely heavily on COM. It was cute even if
I am off on the analysis but I agree that it seemed rather clumsy to use and
extremely lacking in user intuition when you look at your compiled
end-results.
2.5 cents with inflation...oh wait interest rates are down...guess that was
more like 1.75 cents worth.

I fiddled around with Sash a year or so ago, found myself excited for a
couple days, and ultimately came away unimpressed... at least at that stage,
it was little more than a cross-browser alternative to HTAs in IE.
At second glance, it looks like they've been beefing it up quite a bit, but
the inherently clumsy nature of the whole plug-in and application manager
thing still leaves me a bit cold. I may try installing it though, just to
see if it's at least more stable at this point.
