Well yes and no, this is probably where things will develop into in the long run. History currently repeats itself with various low level ui frameworks doing basically the same and high level frameworks which will covere the bridges of the underlying incompatible base technologies. If it is openlazlo or any other framework, I do not know. Probalby we again will have various frameworks basically doing the same. We are currently at the same state we had in the early ninties with a fracturation of the market, some of the parties involved this time are the same as they were around 1989-1992. All I can say, is that this is a really sad situation but as long as money and stealing public domain for the sake of greed is more important than bringing the technology forward, I do not see a solution for all these problems. The problem starts with html itself, we have all these nice W3C standards, which have been ignored for years, and the more we move forward the worse it becomes!
