:For node build system, requiring [http://nodejs.org/ Node.js] may be a little bit inconvenient. However, it won't frustrate many users to get started with hacking Gaia since Node provides a great installer for all platforms. After [http://nodejs.org/ Node.js] installed, we can build up new features quickly by NPM and also speed up rewriting Makefile to pure JS. On the other hand, try to rewrite Makefile from scratch in XULRunner seems not so easy. I'm pretty sure and still believe that NPM ecosystem will bring lots of benefits more than XULRunner. | :For node build system, requiring [http://nodejs.org/ Node.js] may be a little bit inconvenient.
