I'm sorry about the harsh tone of my other comment (most upvoted comment so far) but the tone of the author is aggressive so... Now on Cappucino's website I read this: "Cappuccino is an open source application framework for developing applications that look and feel like the desktop software users are familiar with." and I can't help but think this is all wrong. There are many (most ?) users who are now familiar with webapps, not desktop apps. And what they want is definitely not a webapp looking like an old, outdated, Windows or Java / Swing app (which is exactly how Cappucino looks like). What many user wants is webapps that look like webapps and if they are "forced" to use a desktop app, then they want a desktop app looking like a webapp (I'm thinking about the client-side desktop apps embedding a browser + JavaScript engine). I'm also pretty sure that devs who have done both advanced HTML + CSS to "customize" the UI of their app do much prefer that over, say, the total and utter madness that Swing is (I'm speaking of what I know). Yes, HTML and CSS have their warts... But you'd have to a masochist to want to create a desktop app using Swing. Users I'm sure they don't want apps that looks like desktop apps: they now have browsers, iPad, Android tablets, etc. They hardly remember what an old Windows desktop app was like. Devs I don't know: I've done my fair share of Swing and the last thing I want is go back doing that. I kinda like this "simple / straight to the point" webapp worlds that we have right now.
