It's simple. For example if you want to develop an application for tablets,
XULRunner is not the right choice. The same for highly interactive
multimedia applications etc. It's aimed on business applications with
native look&feel.
Pharo wants to provide own multiplatform UI with zoomable accelerated
graphics. As the default option. Our tools should be independent on
UIframework. That's why we have Spec.
I haven't developed Phobos to provide the only right way how to render UI.
In fact, classical GUI has the best days behind. On the other hand,
Pharostill needs some way how to support it and
XULRunner is interesting way how to do that and already working.
