Wow, a JavaScript MVC application book with no SproutCore coverage whatsoever.

If anyone needed proof that SproutCore has failed to launch, this is it.

To be fair, this book is about libraries that are strictly MVC implemented in JavaScript, and no more. At the time Alex was writing the book, SproutCore 1.4 was the current version, and is obviously a "full-stack" framework, including a UI library.

SproutCore 2.0 alpha was released on May 25th of this year, so Alex didn't have time to cover it. My hope is that a second edition would hopefully at least mention it, now that it is much more competitive with things like Backbone and Knockout, et al. :)

This is precisely correct.

A failure of an author to cover his bases is hardly proof that SproutCore is doing poorly.
