Still, QxBuild is not part of the official qooxdoo release, and the bom 
application is just an example that it's doable. Not every developer wants or 
can afford to develop a custom builder (I for one would love to, but am too 
time-constrained).

Besides, there's the problem of standardization. A standardized way of 
packaging and deploying plugins/libraries of Javascript/qooxdoo classes on top 
of a basic qooxdoo-based bootstrapper would allow plugins/libraries of 
independent programmers to interact - a qooxdoo ecosystem could develop much 
faster than contribs which must be compiled into your source code would ever 
allow.

IMO, it's very much like the relation between old monolythic, C++-based 
programs and programs for the JVM. Introspection, reflection and dynamic class 
loading make Java apps running on the JVM a much nicer network language. You 
don't have such features in monolything apps. Therefore I assume you don't want 
qooxdoo apps to be closed, monolything apps.

Nevertheless, I can understand time and resource constraints.
