Hej Martin!
First, I must say that I appreciate the answers.

It is true and that is one issue we can not live with. I still think the
comparison is adequate, regardless of licensing. We prefer to compare with the
better ones if there are any...

I have full understanding for that. We all have to be a bit commercial too :-)
But I actually meant in general the last 6 months.

A modest goal for such an excellent base structure and design of qooxdoo. No
one, regardless of licensing, in the market beats the design of the framework.
I am just pointing out functionality differences.
We tried QxWT but it was far from our expectations. There is also a lag between
the development trunks and little sync.

Also modest in comparison, but as always resource limited as for any commercial
company. But the good about it, you keep what you promise!

Do you believe that broadening, under your supervision, of the core developers
by inviting community developers would enhance the functionality of the
framework. Then you might release time for project lead and quality control and
participate more in the discussion and the work is done by the community in a
greater extent than today? Would you see it as leveraging the framework?

I agree it is biased, but I chose the most new and complete from a
functionality point of view. The others have parts and not as many parts as
Sencha. I prefer to compare with the lead.
