This would mean that instead of writing
var tf = new qx.ui.form.TextField();
I'd have to write
qx.Class.import("qx.ui.form.TextField");
var tf = new qx.ui.form.TextField();
right? Assuming that qx.ui.form.TextField has all import statements for the
classes it uses already. And that would mean that there are many imports
duplicated all over the place, as each class would have to be
self-containted.
I thought that's what computers are for, to automagically do the
obvious for me.

I think Qooxdoo provides plenty of means for trying for free (e.g.
Playground, Demobrowser, and even a automatically generated standalone
application).
I am not sure if the Qooxdoo community would benefit from users asking
questions on the mailing list that cannot handle that.
As somebody else already pointed out, Qooxdoo is not a
"lets-put-some-js-hack-into-our-website" kind of thing ...
Cheers,
