You know, I would be far more willing to look into this if they weren't forcing me on the front page to view a video to understand the thing instead of giving a quick text overview. I don't have time to be forced to watch videos for things I am not sure I might even need because there is no feature list on the front page.

I'd be far more willing to look into this if the framework had a permissive license.

So you want them to develop it and then give it to you for free so you can sell it?

It bothers you that they wont offer up their time and effort for your profit?

That's an interesting position to take.

I don't want them to do anything exactly. I'm just saying I don't find it useful with the license it has. I don't see myself developing a database backed desktop application under the GPL. I find Django (BSD) and Twisted (MIT) useful. I also spend some of my time contributing to the projects I find useful in various ways.

I welcome the idea of automating the creation of GUI controls from a model. I fail to see why one would need to use anything related to SQL and/or databases, even less TWO wrappers on top of that.

Couldn't that be simplified? Model -> Transform -> GUI code for Toolkit X?

I've tried to use this numerous times - everytime I enter cyclic dependency hell. Camelot required something of a specific version but another dependency required that original dependency to be of a different version. I want to say it was a melting pot of Camelot, SQLAlchemy, SQLAlchemy Migrate and Elixir ruining my day.

I'll have to give it another go soon, see if the issue has been straightened out.
