Hi i totally agree with Bart. I'm away from Cocoon since 2.1.11. Cocoon 2.2 required from me a new learning curve. Since then i have moved to other technologies. For small sized web applications Cocoon forms are replaced by GWT.
Of course i'm missing CForms and its powerful javascript as controller but now i have an IDE (eclipse with gwt-plugins) to work in. It's was more easy for me to adapt GWT than Cocoon 2.2. In any case i don't compare GWT with Cocoon. I still monitor cocoon's lists and i have always in my mind to find time to dig into C2.2 or/and C3. /stavros On Sun, Apr 18, 2010 at 1:17 PM, Bart Remmerie <[email protected]> wrote: > Considering myself a 'normal' user (not developing cocoon), i lost > track after 2.1.11 .
