Cappuccino Team, I have always been amazed by your courage of entering the web tool world and your perseverance in doing what you do. Can you please share you progress so far, who uses your tool and what public application were build using your framework. Please don't take this the wrong way. Thx

Got a whole page of projects here:

https://github.com/280north/cappuccino/wiki/Current-Projects

A fairly recent impressive Cappuccino application is PicsEngine:

Also check out GitHub Issues which very nicely demonstrates the state of the art TableView widget:

Archipel is more of a technical app highlighting a ton of various '2.0' techs in one app unified by the Cappuccino experience:

Is anyone else astounded that none of the team members seem to be from the original set of developers? Are they entirely gone or just not in the driver's seat any more?

Who says we aren't still team members? We just didn't help write the blog post.

I will tell you, as someone who drafted the blog post, we chose to highlight the newest members of our team rather than putting the original founders name on everything we publish. The community is growing very quickly.

Also, Ross's name is in the blog post. If you take a look at the Github repo you can see that both Francisco and Tom have recently put a lot of work into this release as well.

Cappuccino is used on a variety of projects, some are internal and some are not. I've listed several applications being powered by Cappuccino, but certainly there are many more if anyone wants to list them. - http://picsengine.com/home - http://gomockingbird.com/ - http://enstore.com/ - http://280slides.com - http://githubissues.heroku.com - http://timetableapp.com/ - http://almost.at/

Clarification: Not enstore.com itself, but the admin utility used to manage your store is built with Cappuccino.

Sorry, should have said signers of this blog entry.

There's a pretty good list of some of the public apps here: http://cappuccino.org/learn/demos/

I think you have only to look at the commit authors to see that it's pretty evenly spread out amongst all of us which is a great thing in my opinion

Here is a comparison with gwt: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2933266/gwt-vs-cappuccino

I am not experienced with gwt or cappucino, but it seemed that they aimed similar things, developer not needing to deal with html, css, dom etc.

Actually, it seems the real contender is sproutcore here.

Well, GWT still deals heavily with HTML, CSS, and the DOM. It does offer certain abstractions that many frameworks do not. Both projects are certainly targeting a similar (but not completely identical) market.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "the real contender" though.
