AIR brings all kind of web-tech together onto a universal runtime that runs in most of the platform nowadays. Consider we have Flash, Html, Css, Local-file I/O, Local-graphic accel., offline-online-interoperatibility and we have Eclipse as the IDE.
However AIR’s Html part is consideredly weak, it’s just a webkit browser and that’s all. It doesn’t promise to control the web content and functionality and solve the Ajax problems that we experienced, e.g. history, keyboard, browser compatibility, security, etc. In this point, why not let us introduce the ready & matured solution – GWT – to handle this part?

- “AIR and Flex approach more Java than Javascript, the main reason is that JS is single-thread only, which is not good for desktop apps.”
- “Leopard has a ready-to-use environment for developer – the Xcode toolset, including Debugger and Organizer.”
