bcrounse,hi!
1. the openlaszlo demo using "cool" skin just want to catch us eyes and
make some visual effect,but in real project, they(openlaslzo studio)or we never
use such luxurious stuff.
see that:

2. although,flash is not fit for everyone's taste,but,now, it is the only
run time we could choose when using openlaszlo, and if you wanna to copy and
paste flash test, you can use inputtext control.
3.many devolper say the lzx language is a little big "strange" and
"alien",but this is just the feature of openlaszlo,different from the
traditional programming model, after all the language want to be a agile
develoment language.Also,you can find some infomation about your taget of "make
the appearance of a widget
conditional on the value of a user cookie" at:
http://www.openlaszlo.org/lps/docs/guide/cookies.html
we have done the same task as your's getting http session infomation by using
"dataset",it's src is a ".jsp" file,so,this is not a big problem.
some opinions of yours I agree, the platform's wide population and adoption
need offical effort,because people are new to OL need to confirm more
relaibility and feasibility of it.So,more specific technical articles and some
consulting guides are strongly desired.That's just the shortage of
Openlaszlo,also the support of developoment community.
with regards
liwenzhi
