[OT] SproutCore: Being talked of as a Flash killer? Really?

[Josh Mellicker]

SproutCore may eventually be great, but today, ExtJS is far more  
developed and powerful as a web app dev framework, with a lot more  
widgets and components.

I just found this third-party library for GWT & ExtJS with some nice  
examples:

http://gwt-ext.com/demo/

Will SproutCore ever catch up? We will see.

The funny thing is, Revolution runs circles around both of them as a  
dev environment. Myself, a part-time, beginner/intermediate user, can  
accomplish functionality in an hour in Rev that it takes a master word  
class Javascript genius 8-10 hours or more to do.

Of course, my deliverable is standalone software, they deliver in a  
browser, but sheesh!
