Has anyone here done any line of business/crud type of app with XUL that they feel has been successful? I'd be interested in hearing any short description of the ups/downs of your efforts.
- johannes1234321 9y agoAbout 15 years ago German car rental company Sixt migrated some mainframe based console UIs to XUL, while keeping the backend in COBOL. They focused a lot on reaction time and keyboard shortcuts as the tool was used in the call center to capture damage reports. I have no idea how much of this is still used.

- ak39 9y agoThanks for this. I played around with XUL in 2004 for the first time - and last time. Being totally blown away by its native controls then, I suggested it for an in-house insurance app my client was developing. My recommendation did not receive much respect! They ended up developing an ASP app.
