RIA development is too slow because of 1). Lack of Componentization 2). Lack of UI Automation 3). Lack of Configurability causing RIA coders 1). Code redundantly 2). Code repeatly 3). Code unnecessarily complexly 4). Much much more….

1). Minimize use of programming language (JS) by integrating JS components into HTML tags so that RIA coders code majorly in HTML. QUI targets the issues by 2). Providing a highly componentized environment where loosely-coupled components wrap widgets from JS toolkits to achieve the maximum flexibility. 3). Eliminating event wiring by reflection/scanning so that coders only write handlers(respondToXXX or reactToXXX) and never need to wire them. 4). Much much more… (see the article for more)
