Hi,
I like qooxdoo and I used it in the past, but I feel like saying also some
cons, instead of repeating pros again and again:)
1. Qooxdoo is too heavy. Even if you try to minimize as much as possible
the qooxdoo js is more than 1MB (I'm talking about standard setup
containing basic widgets, not application showing "Hello" button). This
makes qooxdoo impossible to use on classic web-pages.
2. Backward compatibility makes toolking even more heavy. Today's browsers
improved, there is no need for IE6/IE7 support, or support for archaic
browsers like Firefox 1.5, etc. Yes, maybe somebody disagrees, but for me
keeping this support is something like making a desktop application for
Windows 3.1. What I mean here is that today many things can be done easier
than they are done in qooxdoo. For example the whole bom layer, batch
rendering, etc, is an unnecessary complication.
3. Databinding is too heavy :-P I don't like the fact I have to marshal
JSON data I receive.
My conclusion: I think that qooxdoo advantage is that it's like Java, and
disadvantage is that it's like Java:-P
In the past we used qooxdoo for administration interface for an e-commerce
application. We started working on version 2 and we don't plan to use
qooxdoo again. I plan to create a html5 toolkit, something very lightweight
that will contain a basic widget set in a qooxdoo-like way - no css or
html, but much closer to the DOM while taking advantage of a new browser
features.
But I would like to thank you qooxdoo devs; it's a nice and organized
toolkit.
Best,
Petr
