Hi Andreas,
OO: The core OO of classes, interfaces, etc is brilliant and essential; it gives us the tools we have had in other languages (and considered essential) for the past 10-20 years. Support: Every time I've had to ask a question I've always had a rapid and helpful response, from the 1&1 team and/or the community. The community wouldn't be as involved as it is if you hadn't fostered that relationship and that's to your credit. Professional (and funded) development team: I tend to keep quiet about whether I use open source code or not when talking to clients because they sometimes worry that OS is incomplete/unstable/unprofessional/etc so it's really important to be able to extol your virtues in this regard. Given that it's my neck on the line if it doesn't work then it's important to me too! Cross platform: It's been a long while since I routinely tested in all browsers because 99 times out of a hundred if it works on one browser it works on the rest. That's a huge deal because of the effort that goes into a) testing 4 or 5 times over and b) finding and implementing a cure for an Internet Explorer browser specific bug can take so long. Range of controls: Loads of controls, there's only been one or two things I've had to write myself and then usually by combining or augmenting existing controls. The API of controls has become more consistent over time and has shown itself to be a well-designed, usable one. Documentation: usually the Achilles' heel of OS products, this has been great since I started (0.7.x) Stability/unit testing: Obviously there have been some API changes as Qx matured but generally it's been a stable and powerful one. Perhaps I've been lucky but I've only hit the odd bug or two when using actual releases, and the unit testing you added recently goes to the stability of the product and demonstrates how you're going to continue to give me a product I can rely on. We started out by writing a new version of a small-ish extranet website but the project has become a proof-of-concept for migrating a large 12yr old desktop app to be web-based and it would not be happening as soon as this without Qooxdoo.

Hi all, while approaching the qooxdoo 1.0 release due next week, we'd like to gather some feedback from you about the strong points of qooxdoo. This is valuable input (targeting about/feature pages, announcements) for other users, particularly new users, to get to know about the most important aspects of qooxdoo. It is important that you don't really think about what _could_ be relevant for others, but what were and are the most relevant aspects _for you_ and your project specifically. Your individual "user's view" if you will. This certainly includes technical aspects, of course, but also non-technical ones like project and/or community. Looking forward to your favorite "pros", Andreas -- Andreas Ecker Project Lead http://qooxdoo.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Return on Information: Google Enterprise Search pays you back Get the facts. http://p.sf.net/sfu/google-dev2dev _______________________________________________ qooxdoo-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/qooxdoo-devel
