Hi, As a new user to qooxdoo, perhaps my perspective could be useful. Ignore if not.

The ability to get a fully compiled (and super-fast) version without any extra work beyond a 1-liner command-line thing is a huge plus. The ability to detect missing dependencies is another big thing for me. > * qooxdoo in one big js file to download this would not appeal to me whatsoever. However, having the entire app in a single .js file is *very* appealing (again going back to the build stage). > * better default theme I do think qooxdoo would benefit from having a few more themes. Hopefully the dark theme will be good enough to promote from contrib to core theme? :) Ultimately, this isn't a showstopper for me. (By the way, I'm dying for a qxet theme release compatible with 1.2 *poke* *poke*) :) A bigger turn-off for me is the visual look of qooxdoo.org. Compare to the more popular frameworks' websites, and you'll see what I mean. The front door needs to prettier or most people will assume that the framework sucks and move on to the next one. For me, this was not a showstopper, but I found qooxdoo because of a wikipedia article comparing frameworks benchmarked it (0.8 version) as quite fast relative to the others, and I was surprised considering I had never even heard of it before. Might be good to poke the author of that article to re-run benches with 1.2. I found the article by googling "javascript framework."
