Hi everyone, Nobody mentioned Polymorphic. My understanding is that both Spec and Polymorph are built on top of Morphic. I only looked at code example and brief tutorial for both of them, but it seemed to me that Polymorph was easier to grasp: it's quite obivous in the code where and how the widgets are built. I have trouble understanding how the job is done in Spec. On the other hand, Spec seems to have a lot of users in this mailling list.
To sum up this thread with many different options proposed, what would be the right path for a newbie like me ?
