Please dont get me wrong, I dont know that much about web development, but I know enough to see that it definitely a huge market for it(although I still think there is a place for native).  I have looked around at various web development tools but I always came to same conclusion,  Why cant web development be simpler, more like  desktop development. I think what you have here is really looking good(i have already preordered it), keep up the good work.  Looking forward to more, as mentioned below.

The comments that we made were purely an observation from an outsider and not meant to be critical but more constructive.

<< 2. Sites look a bit too much like desktop apps >>

Please note that this is only because I *chose* to make it look that way.
If I got rid of some borders and did some other mods to the theme (or used a
different theme), you would not be able to tell it from a "normal" site.
You can make an EWB application look any way that you want, and once you see
the THTMLObject component in action, you'll see how you can display rich
content like HTML pages right along with the EWB controls/functionality.

<< 3. A lot of JS behind site >>

I'm not normally a betting man, but I would definitely bet that straight-up
HTML will eventually go the way of the dinosaur in favor of fully,
interactive sites.  JS is going to be the engine behind all of that, in some
form or another.  Plus, using JS to generate HTML is more efficient than
hand-coding everything in HTML, both in the download sizes and in the amount
of effort involved.

No problem at all. I was simply trying to stress that EWB can really be
anything you want it to be in terms of looks.  The theming support is there
specifically for this reason.  Of course, what I need now is to get some
other people besides me doing themes, because I'm not exactly the best
graphics guy around.
