hehe,

yeah! that's good :)

I think approaches are different. I see Spectrum like Material Design Lite
(MDL) library I did some years ago (and another option Bilbosax can check,
that is complete and can be found in Royale libs).

In Spectrum and MDL components, styles and behaviours come from a third
party and component dev must accommodate what's done by the provider. We
are basically wrapping a JS/CSS library with the Royale logic to make it
work inside Royale.

Jewel is more native to royale, and we control every aspect. We're not
wrapping  external sources, but creating our own components that have its
own styling.

Each path has pros and cons. One good thing on the Spectrum/MDL approach is
that third party takes care of usability and CSS/JS use to solve any
problem, we just need to wrap it to make it usable in MXML/AS3, in the
other hand the look and feel is only the one they offer and it's more
difficult to change.

The good thing about Jewel is that we control the behaviours and are more
integrated inside the royale logic and use to be more near to what Flex
provided also is more suitable to look and feel changes through themes. In
exchange we need to fight with all kinds of implementation aspects. What
this means is more work to be done and sometimes more time to reach where
others already reach the goal.

In the end, each set has its own path and timing. For example, in
comparison with latest additions to Spectrum, keyboard navigation is
already in Jewel List, but we still don't have a Menu component.
