As others have said, it¹s a question of marketing not technical quality; yes there are things that people would like to see but that¹s true of any framework - I bet the wish list for ExtJS and other projects have things on it that Qooxdoo already does very well. The upcoming challenges (e.g. native classes etc) are just one more step in the chain that can be worked out (think about the upgrades between early 0.x versions)
Taking Tobias¹ point, I don¹t want to be negative about Qooxdoo - it IS a great product and very much worth the investment, the point is that there is so much more for any project when it has a growing and vibrant community because that growth is driven by end user expectations and demands. If a newcomer believes that they can please their end users (and their bosses) with a Qooxdoo based product, the community will grow, and those developers will feed back to the project which in turns makes the project better and devs more likely to join the community. What surprises me is that this is, surely, good for the project internally at 1&1 too? OK so at the moment the team have a corporate mandate and budget to keep going, but they have end users too who have high expectations that push hard into IT and users will eventually get what they want. It wasn¹t that long ago that many corporate IT depts would refuse to upgrade beyond IE6 because of ³compatibility problems², now it¹s not unusual when they have to support different phones, tablets, laptops etc. John ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
