Re: JavaFX viability was->Re: Pete's web5250

Sure you can build rich stuff, but doing it is clunky, not standardized
and
unproductive. The average developer struggles to get his head around
all of
it because there's a lot to learn and too many choices to make.

Most x-browser stuff is handled by toolkits (prototype, jQuery, etc.)
these days that you don't need to worry about it. We produce a SaaS app
that is supported on IE, FF, Opera and Safari, on Windows, Linux and Mac
and we don't think about x-browser much at all. And we handle ajax,
drag/drop, dynamic DOM, etc. Is there x-browser stuff deep in the
toolkits? Sure. Do we care? Nope.
