What you say is that the first benefit is that "it might work as good as what you have with Qt now". That's not a benefit. :) > The second benefit would be open access to UI design up to a world > full of web UI developers, who might want to take advantage of using > their skills to make cool looking stuff on a non-web medium... The second benefit is that "it might attract UI designers who have never done a normal application before!" - that's not really a benefit either, since they make other UIs, and Mixxx already has excellent designers. > Okay, so maybe it is crazy... lol...
