My goal is not to create one "killer-app". My goal is to have a platform
which can host a variety of apps, all lightweight by themselves, which
can be combined together into a solution. Its like LEGO, where you have
bricks and build your solution of that. I think there is a clear
misunderstanding.

My point of view is pretty simple: Lazyness. But lazyness at the right
point. Using a framework can also be considered as some kind of
lazyness. Its about the right tools; nobody would re-invent the
screwdriver again, and the same goes for the wheel.

Thats the point - I'd rather drop my project and use FLOW3 as basis, so
I can concentrate on my real projects again.

With best regards,
