If you watch the "Hello world" starter tutorial for Cappuccino, there is the basic problem highlighted: He creates an action on the button to call "swap" to change "Hello world" to "Goodbye" - but he forgets to actually create the swap method itself, so app crashes and you see this in firebug:
"Exception... "" - [AppController: swap] unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x000133 when calling method Aside from the fact that in GWT first your IDE and if not then then the compiler will pick that up before you even try to run it and your IDE will probably auto-write a stub for the fix for you to boot, Eclipse etc java debugging tools are light years ahead of this, partly due to Java having strong static typing, which Cappuccino clearly doesn't No big deal in the small, but scale up and you are back to the javascript maintenance nightmare. It can't compete with Java tooling nor Java itself. Looks pretty and has a few fancy widgets that do a bit more out of the box than GWT equivalents. Be interested to see how they they cope with data structures like hash maps and how you could hook up widgets using Observer pattern for example.
