rise of the XUL applications

Yahoo's hiring XUL app developers as they should.

Google has some XUL developers on their payroll.
So does Amazon.com and there are several still at AOL/Netscape.
There are over 600 Firefox and Thunderbird extensions.

And, I've seen several internal XUL based applications...in production environments except I can't tell you where.

There's SimoHealth as a XUL based health management software.
There's the Amazon XUL browser built by an individual.

And let's not forget that Mozilla Suite (Netscape 7.x), n|Vu, Sunbird, Firefox, and Thunderbird are all XUL based applications.

What XUL apps would I like to see:
- an AIM/Yhoo/MSN/Jabber chat client
- a simple n|VU like editor for blog posting and maybe simpler documents
- XUL based media player
- a few more things...
