And by the way, the move from Xcode + WOB + EOM to Eclipse + WOLips +
EM is really no different than Apple's move from the old iMovie to
iMovie 08. The big point of contention is that it's neither a clear
upward or downward move. In some ways it's substantially better, in
some ways it's worse, but, like Apple with iMovie, we (being WOLips
and Apple) collectively believe that even though we took a step down
in some areas, the overall trajectory of this direction is much
stronger. I fully believe this for WOLips. Yes, graphical editing of
tables isn't there yet, and you can't drag and drop bindings yet, but
there's a HUGE amount of new stuff that IS there that makes a much
stronger development platform to work off of. Think different ;)
What I would love to see is a "simple" download and install package
for WO developers.
For example, the recommended Eclipse 3.3.1 and stable WOLips for WO5.4
development.
Not sure if it's possible but that would be nice.
And maybe bundle a README file with links pointing users to places
pages where they can find more info. Since most real projects consist
of reusable frameworks and applications that use them, I think a
tutorial should cover how to build a framework and add that dependency
to one of your apps.
