You are telling me that I have to learn to code in Javascript? Are you serious? I've been avoiding Javascript for years. Abstractions such as libraries make this possible. This seems like a step backward.
What I saw "Make Simple Web Apps A Breeze," I expected Infogami done correctly. Drag and drop some buttons to make a website, publish it to an account, and voila, I have a website.
Don't get me wrong, the premise is very cool. It gets my computer science geekery excited. But this is a business here, and it seems like a tool built for geeks by geeks. I don't know what the business model, but based on every other venture YC has backed, it depends on the typical Web 2.0 paradigm: get users --> get funding --> ultimately get ad-based revenue or other branch out to other forms. If your only target is geeks, then good luck. Otherwise, I suggest a little more ease-of-use.
From the few examples I quickly browsed, nothing is out of the ordinary; a chat program, a wiki, a "notes" page, etc... All common Web paradigms that can be abstracted.
Again, very cool, and I look forward to playing around with it once my semester ends. But at the moment, I don't think anybody but the hardcore techies will enjoy it.
