Block quoting the latter URL, because it sums up my point of view much
better (and much funnier) than I can:
"It's a run-time engine for little JavasScript widget devices that
can do anything!" said the New York Times' David Pogue.
"Or it might be an interpreter - I always get those
confused. But, anyway, there are these small, lightweight
widgets that do certain tasks like... uh... cooking shrimp! No,
no! That's stupid! Like... like... download your bank account
information! No... well... I don't know if there's one that does
that... there might be."
After five minutes of circular attempts at explanation Pogue finally
admitted "OK, I really don't know what it does."
"But it looks really cool."
Certain Mac users claimed attempts to define Konfabulator were
"bringing it down."
"That kind of thinking is so nineties," said developer and web logger
Niles Crawford. "You can't box Konfabulator in to your corporate
view of what an application should be, man! Konfabulator is way
beyond that! Konfabulator is the bomb! It's the shit, man!
"Ah, screw it, I don't know what it does, either."
I really don't have anything to add :)
