== XUL is more or less outdated ==

I wouldn't use XUL anymore, as it locks me into the Mozilla platform.

A modern framework like [http://www.qooxdoo.org qooxdoo] allows
traditional GUI development running on a multitude of browsers
instead of just one, making XUL rather obsolete.

However I can't estimate the resource constraints on the OLPC
platform, a pure JavaScript approach like qooxdoo must
obviously render all widgets itself instead of relying on
the native widgets like XUL does which might need more
resources. --[[User:Marc van Woerkom|Marc van Woerkom]] 21:12, 23 June 2007 (EDT)
