I agree that probably the kind of user interfaces you make with Vaadin don't scale to thousands of concurrent users, and I also agree with your observation that for ACE this is not a problem (if we ever *need* that many people administrating ACE, we've done something wrong :) ). > I am a little concerned why there isn't a well spread OSGi Web Toolkit > yet.

UI toolkits come and go, user interfaces are often the most volatile aspects of products and with lots of innovation in computers and mobile devices, the requirements, trends and fashions often change. :) Greetings, Marcel
