The platypus of the Internet

I agree with Justin’s post regarding how easy (or pain-free) it is to do XUL development. I toyed around with it a month or so back and agree that it’s amazingly simple to develop something that presents well and for all intents and purposes behaves like a normal application. Kudo’s again to the Mozilla foundation.

For an organization with proven javascript abilities, its no wonder that Google was able to develop their Firefox toolbar efficiently with only a small team.

For a small team that had never worked together, or used XUL, to create a product quickly that works across languages and platforms from a single ~250K download – that’s good stuff, if you ask me.
