Thanks for these thoughts, Oscar. It would be a big plus if we could improve the Wicket viewer to the point that you felt you could abandon your custom viewer; that way we are all (in the community) pooling our collective development efforts. It might also make less urgent some of the other tickets you've raised recently regarding establishing a formal API for such custom viewers (something I consider to be a bigger piece of work than switching to using bootstrap).
