Unfortunately, Fugu is totally seperate from ChromeOS, since many of Fugus capabilities don't work on the platform. Still, on Windows and Mac, Fugu is definitely more impressive than anything ChromeOS is doing.
Obviously yes, there are going to be platform-dependencies with any platform abstraction API, and different platforms support different things. For sure Android is "primary" for most of these and it is doing the best, but the other platforms seem pretty well-supported, with no particular winner that I'm seeing. Is there something specific you're wanting and not getting?
Then it is correct? Many of the Fugu APIs don't work.
I didn't say none.
You can always tell someone hasn't developed consumer apps for ChromeOS when they white knight for it.
If you want to know a specific API that DOESN'T work, but performs splendidly on Windows, then the Eyedropper is a perfect example.
There's an old bug report for it that even has Google Chrome team support, and still no dice.
But yeah, keep rushing to defend the platform that doesn't even get proper support from its creators.
Another example is given in the link you posted. Direct Sockets API is deprecated, but its replacement isn't available yet.
So, if you were a web-dev using "vanilla" ChromeOS to test a site, you better install a full Debian VM on your 4 gb machine, because there's no other way to spin up a server.
No, I think it was correct to say Fugu is NOT for ChromeOS.
