Version 0.8 really seems to be a major jump! If you like to see a huge project running Qooxdoo, check out the Webmailer at http://www.gmx.com.

@phpeter: We just fixed the online version of the demos for IE, sorry for the glitch. We are not aware of any FF3 issues, though. If you care to elaborate, let us know.

I’ve used Qooxdoo (.7) for a few internal corporate apps. Worked very well. Particularly for when you want to emulate a rich GUI within the browser. I’ve moved companies but I’m planning on using the new version for another internal app. Congrats on 0.8 release, can’t wait to to see the improvements.

We switched our enterprise apps to Qooxdoo two years ago so that we’d never have to deal directly with browser-specific issues again (we did consider another js toolkit first, but changed to Qooxdoo because of the API documentation and feature set). It turned out to be a great decision for us. Glad to see 0.8 is out. Awesome animation & theme improvement over 0.7. The Qooxdoo team is based in Germany, so the project is a bit under-the-radar here in the US, but I’d encourage people to check it out. It’s not a new framework. It’s been around for around 3 years and is now a mature, full-featured framework with great documentation.

Looks nice, but the demos don’t work at all in my IE7 and only partly in FF3… hm.

I kind of dread even looking at yet another library, but this one does seem to have earned at least some exploration.
