Hello, I read all messages of this thread and I formed the own opinion.
Well, qooxdoo toolchain is really great feature which contains all what you need for a real production application. That's true, that's the way of qooxdoo team and I'm fully with them. It's a little bit nontraditional way to work with web application and it can confuse new users. But I thought about one thing. What would have happened if we had written Eclipse plug-in which hides all details of build process. All what you need it, it specity qooxdoo-sdk installation and start new project and press a button at the end. In this case we would have the powerful command line toolchain and the high level integration with GUI for new users (and for old ones as well). It's also can be integrated with QXDT. What do new users think about it? It does not mean that we don't need to have qx.js with all classes (just for evaluation). It's just my point - we need to have good IDE integration. It will solve a lot of problems for new users.
