I've tried migrating a pair of fairly lightweight desktop applications to node-webkit from Realbasic/Xojo (which is essentially a cross-platform Visual Basic, only nicer) with some success (in once case the new application is far faster, while I haven't finished the second, but so far so good).

This is the first (simpler) application (really of interest only to Cheetah 3D users).

There's no attempt to produce a "native" UI (indeed, it's not using any frameworks) but it works very well.

I'd like to see a node-webkit-based IDE for creating node-webkit applications (I've considered trying to write one, but I do NOT have the time).

Isn't that what Intel's XDK does?
Oh right, I forgot about that. Maybe it's the "Intel" part :-)
