Come on, I'm sure you can setup a spell checker [1]! ;-)


Also, most of these answers can be found by crawling the web and qooxdoo's
own documentation but here goes...


I'm not part of the qooxdoo team but I'm a fan/active user so my opinion is
a bit biased... :-D Nevertheless, I can quickly provide my quick thoughts on
the subjects.

1. Qooxdoo is more than safe, in my opinion. It seemed a good bet when we
decided to use it as base for a few of our products and, increasingly, it
seems getting better and better.

2. The future of qooxdoo can be seen in the project's roadmap [2]. How the
actual future will be, I guess no one can tell. If you can, please send me
the *real* lottery numbers, as I'm already winning fake lotteries a few
times a month, at least according to my spam folder... ;-)

3. The community is not as large as in other projects but it's good and also
is increasing rapidly. I haven't been able to participate much lately (I've
been a bit overwhelmed with other stuff) but I'm trying to keep an eye on
what's happening and feel great to see all the newbies getting answers from
the "rookies"/"juniors" (the newbies from a year ago). :-)

4. There are a few known companies using qooxdoo [3] and a lot more which
probably aren't listed (such as my own) for various reasons:
sensitive/private applications, boss didn't yet approve it (my case), lazy
developer forgetting about it, liar developer telling his boss/colleagues he
made all by itself (hope not!), etc. :-)


So, if you still have doubts after reading this, just crawl through the
mailing list because there are lots of related threads such as comparing
qooxdoo to other frameworks, asking things like you did and over real
use-cases which aren't listed in the already stated page.


Hope this helps,
 Helder
