Whither Cocoon?

In an email to the cocoon-dev mailing list, Stefano asks is Cocoon obsolete? This promises to be a very interesting thread, and will hopefully have some serious implications for future Cocoon development.

We need to pay more attention to the users, the people trying to develop applications with Cocoon. New frameworks such as Ruby on Rails are attracting users with their simplicity and rapid results. New paradigms such as AJAX and the rise of the rich client, as Firefox gains ground, mean Cocoon’s ‘traditional’ use cases are being eroded. If we’re not careful, we will make Cocoon obsolete.
