Let me get this straight: XUL is Mozilla's cross-platform application development framework. You get to use XML, CSS, and JavaScript for the front end GUI stuff and plain C/C++ for the application logic. Some notable XUL apps are Thunderbird, and its commercial fork, Postbox. Why is it not more popular /prog/?

Maybe it's dead on Firefox, but not as a standalone deploys?

It has little to do with web development. More to desktop applications.

Because XML, CSS and JS is retarded and the firefucks realized that when they had to maintain it, instead of just presenting it.

XML isn't retarded, CSS maybe but as I understand it, you can pretty much ignore it if you don't want to skin your XUL apps, defaulting to the platform's look-and-feel. JS is retarded when it comes to typing but I don't see how you can dismiss it as a language entirely; As a language for scripting GUI events, it does it's job quite nicely and you can still use C/C++ through XULCOM. I'm really puzzled as to why XUL apps isn't more widespread?

Just as the combination of HTML (or XHTML), CSS and JS is retarded. aybe you think it would be good if you mixed it up with C++? But it seems as if no one else thought it was good since it got canned.
