Thanks for that info on SPAR, and I'm glad to meet someone that is so confident
in qooxdoo. I really didn't know that it's used so much on the intranet.
It seems ExtJS has a commercial license or GPL license, according to:
http://www.sencha.com/products/extjs/license/
qooxdoo's LGPL sounds better :-)

Does that really matter? How funny is a name like "Google", or how
relevant is "Apple" to computers?

Yeh, I always found that curious - I used to assume that was one of the
reasons 1&1 were developing Qooxdoo but I guess not.

I'd say it's a pretty strong community and that the core team advance the
product on an on-going basis, and it's open source (AFAIK unlike ExtJS) so
you would always have the code even if 1&1 decided to pull the plug.
I think you need to put in into perspective - if you're that worried,
perhaps you should look at Microsoft and .NET

Actually SPAR never used Qooxdoo for the online store the
real_life_examples entry refers to the SPAR QA website, which is an
extranet website for head office and is not available to the public (I
know, I wrote it). It's also very much alive and used on a daily basis by
suppliers across the UK and Europe; so are another couple of intranet
websites, and we're moving their ERP onto the cloud with Qooxdoo.
As for companies that rely on Qooxdoo - I do, my customers do. Qooxdoo
brings a development environment to the client that we've only had on
servers/non-web for decades - solid OO and a rich, cross platform,
extensible set of widgets and other tools. I've not tried ExtJS or
Prototype since I first settled on Qooxdoo around 2004/2005 but IMHO it
wins hands down and I've no intention of switching, ever. I also use it
for writing server code now, too.
