All right, folks. We all have our preferred environments, and some of us
are even <choose your favorite operating system> bigots who love to argue
this. :-) It's a religious discussion with strong opinions on all sides.
There are plenty of appropriate places for this sort of conversation, but it
has now diverged pretty far from the intent of the qooxdoo development
list. The relevant points have already been made on both sides. Do you
think maybe you could take further comments regarding this topic offline?
Thanks, and much appreciated!

"There is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, nor more
dangerous to manage than the creation of a new system. For the initiator has
the enmity of all who would profit by the preservation of the old system and
merely lukewarm defenders in those who would gain by the new one."
