The guy surely learned a lot building this, but...

No comparison to jQuery or YUI 3. The documentation suggests jo has a lot of catching up to do.

> If you're using jo to create all the UI for your application, you won't need any content or tags in your index.html file.

Apparently completely ignorant of progressive enhancement: deliver the markup and CSS and then enhance with JavaScript.

This is nonsense: you put it in the overall description of the class. But based on this nonsense, jo invents its own, based on markdown. So you get a plain HTML page for each class instead of something similar to javadoc.

Or maybe he just doesn't agree with that approach. Neither do the guys at 280 North and they're doing just fine with Cappuccino.

TL;DR You don't like the framework because it doesn't fit with your tastes. That's fine, but don't act like the guy is a moron for creating something you don't want to use.

Anybody who can build a framework is clearly not a moron. I just have strong opinions about frameworks, since I've built a few myself. Since I misunderstood his use of the term "HTML5 apps," I evaluated it as a framework for a web site, but he has now clarified that it is not.

> This is nonsense

This didn't apply to the entire framework, only to the invention of a new documentation generator. davebalmer and I simply disagree on this issue.
