Documentation for newbies is poor. If you want to do some complex things
there's no other way than to view the qooxdoo js sources. The API is
getting better, but the return type of many functions still is 'void',
falsely. When you look for manuals you have to guess if you're a user or
developper. *Sigh*

And some things are too complicated. Have you ever tried to get the
active tab in a tabview? Have you ever tried to make a listview with you
own ListViewHeaderCell? *sigh*

Still it is a great framwork. If only documentation was better.
