Hello ! I'm evaluating qooxdoo for use it on a project and I like the overall functionality ready to use.
After reading briefly the first chapters of the manual I've tried to make a small test a coding a container with a label and two buttons with a custom look and feel, I endup with around 30 lines of code and found it a bit verbose, I would prefer a declarative way of doing it like the ones that tried to it with xml for example. But better than that I would prefer some kind of wysiwyg builder like the qxIDE, so I decided to try to make qxIDE to work with qooxdoo 2.1.1, after some intents I could reduce the errors a bit but I'm not sure if the generated bootstrap code was hand edited in the original qxIDE because it give errors that seems to be related to inclusion order of the dependencies. Overal I did not got a good experience about the possible problems that can arise form the automated generated code and that makes me delay the consideration of using qooxdoo. Some tools like the playground are very useful but having something like qxIDE would facilitate a lot for newcomers. Why qxIDE was not adopted by the qooxdoo team (it seems abandoned) and make it part of the official distribution ? With a tool like that qooxdoo would get a bigger audience and probably that would benefit the future of it. Look at this page for an overall evaluation of available frameworks http://javascriptures.wordpress.com/2012/05/17/great-javascript-ui-frameworks/ .
