However lack of cross-browser portability seems a severe drawback to me. To write javascript code, it is more and more popular to use frameworks (well, it is indispensible actually). My personnal favorite, which seems to be rather popular is http://mootools.net/ . It provides better constructs for basic operations (and then high level more specialized stuff). I would love to see your product actually producing mootools core (or a bit not so core) code. That is I would love it much much more that way :p . Yours, Arnaud Spiwack
