Well, I think that the only advantage of HTMLArea was that all the
components were styled in a qooxdoo way.

Well, and about the other points - I think that qooxdoo shouldn't wrap
existing APIs, this only makes the gap between qooxdoo and existing
libraries wider. I think that qooxdoo should in some way start cooperating
with other libraries, making it easy to use them from qx app and vica versa.
