Pavel, since i am potential user of Spec, i would like to know more details. I know it takes more time to explain what exactly you don't like and propose better alternative, instead of just generic "i don't like it".
OmniBrowser is older than Spec, so it is not a big surprise that it has more backends implemented. Now, if we don't want Ben's effort to be wasted, we should do a little bit more than just stating "this is not what i want". It is in our best interests to make it what we want. I attempted to extend/improve toolbuilder once.. as well as implement own UI layer on top of it.. I found it quite limited (very small set of widgets, very coarse control over them), no way extending widget sets, composition etc. I think Spec was initially planned to address those issues. While i did not took part in this project directly, i know that Stef (and others) were discussing deeply design of Spec with Ben were quite serious about it and were putting certain goals to achieve. So, if what we got is not something that we want, perhaps we should help fixing it before it's too late :) We both know that "successfull" project is not the one which just finished , launched and just works, but the one which has many users and they enjoy using it and help improving it. -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko.
