| 21 | |
| 22 | Starts its own graphical session which instead of rendering on screen (as X server would do) renders HTML5. |
| 23 | |
| 24 | Pros: |
| 25 | |
| 26 | * No need to write any GUI code, so there is no duplication and no additional maintenance |
| 27 | |
| 28 | Cons: |
| 29 | |
| 30 | * Not (yet?) available for wxPython (done for GTK+, works with wxWidgets) |
| 31 | * Not possible to include web technologies (WebGL), tools (e.g. IPython Notebook) and JS libraries (d3) |
| 32 | * 3D view (nviz) in GUI will not work (G7:m.nviz.image might) |
| 33 | |
| 34 | Others: |
| 35 | |
| 36 | * Still needs file management to be implemented. |

| 49 | * Although it uses free and open source, the solution itself is proprietary (which completely disqualifies it here) |
