Hi Bee, thanks for compliments. As for development speed, I think you hit on a soft spot of ours. Without going into details, I think I can say in general we'd truly like to push out more. To pick up on one thing you mentioned, charting, Christian has just recently issued a flash-based charting integration to our contrib. The contrib is your friend for many good additions (RpcConsole, just to name one other, which is next to nothing I know from other frameworks). So to answer your question, if you want to improve the state of things, develop all the cool features you're after (widgets, themes, ...) and contribute them to qooxdoo-contrib :-).
