I'm Leaflet lead developer at CloudMade and I'll be happy to hear what you
think and answer any questions about the library here. :)
This library is very heavy on the GPU (as opposed to google maps),
which makes it really slow in e.g. vmware without GPU acceleration,
and presumably on platforms that don't have a GPU.
I've seen this before e.g. with some jQuery animations, which are
really slow without a GPU.
OpenLayers and Google Maps don't suffer from the same problem.
The animations are awesome though. On my system, they work in Chrome, but not
in Firefox 3.6 or Opera 11.01 browser.
Normally I'd say it is good to have a little competition, but wouldn't it be so much
easier to fork OL and rewrite the parts you don't like? A "friendly fork" could
contribute some code upstream occasionally.
