I am about to start a new webapp that will be running on P/GAE

  • 0

I am about to start a new webapp that will be running on P/GAE and reagarding the front end we would like to use one of the mentioned frameworks (GWT, SC, Cap).
Which one do you think is the most developer friendly? It seems that Cappuccino looks stunning but you have to learn Obj-J. Sproutcore seems nicer (since there is only JS) but I could not say I am impressed with the docs plus some of the demos are broken.
GWT on the other hand is very mature but I have the feeling that using Java may slow you down as you cannot use some of the JS quirks on the other hand there is vibrant ecosystem around it.

    I think the answer depends on what type of developer are you?

    For me, I’m comfortable with Javascript and like the ability to manipulate the browser DOM so that I can implement features that may not be in the framework. That’s why I prefer Sproutcore.

    I have to agree with you that documentation is limited. However, I’ve found wiki useful and the community really helpful.
