TIBCO General Interface is specifically designed to enable you to create and deliver business productivity applications with speed and ease, leveraging more than 100 AJAX components and a set of visual tooling. Since 2001 GI has targeted the business desktop. IE and FX today are present on about 99% of business desktops.

Anyone wanting ot help bridge that last 1% for Safari and other browsers on the business desktop, please let us know through the developer community forums @ http://www.tibco.com/devnet/gi

TIBCO General Interface also ** does not have a server component **. It’s a 100% client-side library that you can use with any HTTP/s-enabled server of your choosing.

That pretty much covers the update.

Any reason you didn’t include YUI[1]? Infoworld and others consider it one of the “high-profile toolkits supported by the most stable organizations”[2], and included it as one of the six they recently reviewed.

Disclaimer: I’m a developer on the YUI team.

At Yahoo!, we’re proud of our extensive browser support. We support all “A-Grade Browsers” as defined in our Grade Browser Support approach[3].

Thanks,
Nate

One minor correction: while we love the Jot, and the Jot has been a huge supporter of Dojo and a huge reason why we are where we are today, Dojo was not actually first started at JotSpot: http://manual.dojotoolkit.org/WikiHome/DojoDotBook/BookHistory

About browser support - I think that Morfik people should have a really serious thought about bringing Safari, and generally khtml support (nokia too pushes the KHTML engine for their s60 series mobile browsers). It will be a definite hit! Not including a product for not having your favorite browser supported is a fair choice - I can understand that! But doing so, and then including a product, which support only one (1) browser - IE, is an intersting decision.

I really hope, next time you make an update, you would think about dividing the tools in different categories.

And one note about OS X support: Did you know the WebOS AppsBuilder can target Mac OS X as a target server environment?

And sorry for double posting (first 2) - when I hit Submit comment, it leads me to 404 page. I did not knew if the comment was submited, so I posted another - same, and then wrote the whole thing in my blog.

Most of the products–including Atlas and Tibco–include JavaScript libraries as part of their overall product design. Even if they don’t, as is the case with Echo 2, TK, and, apparently, Morfik, the product websites provide examples of Ajax applications or demos of Ajax controls that are the product of the libraries or app builder tools the company is selling. The ratings reflect the degree to which those Ajax end-products work in a wide variety of browsers on Windows and non-Windows platforms.

As a heads-up, you should know that Morfik would not rate highly at the moment, since your primary “demo” is the Morfik website itself, which you advertise as being a product of Morfik’s app builder, does not work at all in Safari on Mac OS X. Apparently, this is caused by a rather lame user-agent detect script, which simply refuses to display the site to Safari users (or perhaps it just doesn’t include Safari among the known “Ajax-capable” browsers). I deduce this because when I have Safari masquerade as IE 6 on Windows, the site works (for the most part). You might want to clean that up before I visit again to look at Morfik in more detail.

And why you mess RAD tools with 4 kb .js libarires? I have nothing against small libraries - moo.fx is great, and others too. But there should be at least 2 categories: one about RAD tools such as GI from Tibco , Atlas from MS and JST from Morfik, and one about libraries/frameworks!
