And after all if one is aware of its characteristics (loose typing, no inheritance,...which are not only a disadvantage) it can be used very well (including user defined objects). A debugger like "venkman" helps a great deal.
But how am I to say that. I haven't programmed to much (only a little Delphi, SQL, and HTML) and I try to keep it as minimal as possible. But maybe that is why I appreciate that new movement towards UIs based on simple XML markup. I am not sure whether XUL will be still around in three years (depends whether the movement finally gains momentum together with mozilla firefox). But I believe some kind of XML-based rich-client markup will be the next generation of the web.

Hi Richard,
thanks but take a look at the role model application (MAB at http://www.faser.net/mab with Firefox)
This is cool. Thilo, do you know how to do something in XUL like Google Suggest
(http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=1&hl=en) I find it hard to believe there isn't a way,
in fact, wait a sec, I'm using that functionality right now in Thunderbird ;-) so there must be a way
This is the equivalent of what we call the phrasewheel in gnumed-wxpython. This would make it very tempting for a GUI The problem is you need to write it in javascript. (ugh)
