a) well documented b) with good performance c) easily extendable
people will use it to make very desktopy like web apps ala gho.st etc

Fair point. I'm not sure how I'd feel about it being entirely pop-up window based, which I presume is the alternative to MDI.

#9I'm still not convinced that conventional windows work inside a browser. I think it confuses the user, and makes for bloat and mess.
Yeah it's cool you can do things like emulating desktop windows, resize, drag, minimize etc, but just because you can do this, doesn't mean you should.
There's a lot to be said for keeping things clean and simple. Keep things accessible.

Edit: hey, it works in IE! I guess this is Canvas.IE? Is the author on news.yc?
