Judge a framework by its applications

Just like Eclipse gave SWT a shot in the arm, I think applications like craigslist remixed (which is actually a very useful tool) really give a shot in the arm to the technologies that enable them (in this case Tibco's General Interface, an AJAX framework that was around before AJAX had a name).

(GWT just doesn't have anything out there - except maybe Lombardi's workflow tool.)
