>One thing to keep in mind about Dabo is that it is **not** geared towards web applications, only desktop apps. Given that everything seems to be moving towards the web, this is a pretty significant limitation with Dabo. Also, as I understand, it is being mainly developed as a side project by two highly skilled but busy people, so progress has been sporadic.


That is in fact correct today. But both QT and WXwidgets are now providing tools for the web that use the standard widgets. What that means is you create the form for windows using what ever widget (control) needed and then run the form in a browser. At the moment QT is very far ahead of WX. But I'm sure they will catch up.

But I'm sure that will only solve the UI issues and not the programming side. Think about the problems of all the round trips a windows program makes - this would be death on a browser. But to be honest I'm not sure how it works. QT has lots of demos (including a few with data controls) and they look very cool.
