XUL is more or less outdated
I wouldn't use XUL anymore, as it locks me into the Mozilla platform.
A modern framework like 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. --Marc van Woerkom 21:12, 23 June 2007 (EDT)
With this browser does use of Webkinz work well?
