That's what makes for a "killer" App for advocacy ;)

Sort of like Rails for Ruby, etc.

There is a demand for Gnoga's style of "web app" development. It is far easier for programmers, especially IT types, to bridge from VB to Gnoga than from VB to JSF, Rails, Node.js, etc.

It is also just easier and more productive to write a "web app" as and actual application rather than a collection of servlets, xml configs, html templates, scaffolds and 300 other configuration details for a simple hello world app.

Even for websites, while not the main thrust of Gnoga, you can do great work with simple application "style" programming, here is an earlier demo of the upcoming Gnoga site (I'm actively working on it and the contents locally, I put this up just for comments on the Gnoga mail list)

http://www.gnoga.com:8888

When the site goes live I'll make the source code also available. It uses Gnoga and the binding to Bootstrap for the extra styling.
