I agree with this. Many of the arguments around the GWT issue are ignoring the economic cost of development. It's nice and easy to sit in your chair and make arguments like "well ideally we would have a nice fall-back framework for non-JS users" when you're not the person who's going to be doing the work. (People did this when discussing the windows installer too...) Not that these arguments are wrong as such, it's just that realistically we must also consider the effort required. Freenet is already short on work-time as it is. (This shouldn't be interpreted as advancing any position in the GWT debate, I'm just pointing out where people's arguments are lacking.) OTOH it's similarly flawed to argue in favour of GWT based purely on the point that it makes development easier. X -- GPG: 4096R/5FBBDBCE
