In fact the tool chain is a lot easier in 0.8 than ever before (no need for Cygwin etc.). Just a plain Python installation which is pre-installed with some OSs already like Mac OS or Linux. I do not think that it is a problem at all for real users. For evaluation proposes even to have to execute one script is too much when it is possible without any execution or read through something. Just unzip and load in the browser is unbeatable. Most classical web developers could also live well with a HTML file were the script blocks can be easily commented out to omit their inclusion.
A precompiled modulized qooxdoo with component like scripts to include is IMHO the best offer we could make. Something like the old quickstart but with modules for some more complex GUI components. Should not be to complex to implement in a follow up version.
