> Tabulator is nowhere close to a user-friendly interface

am still wondering how Tim does his taxes in it. maybe a screencast w/ names + currency-values blobbed out?

1. it's maintained enough to at least find, launch & use - for a variety of mid-00s RDF-browsers that's not the case - their websites disappeared, theyre written for some old version of SWING in JAVA (Rather than HTML5+JS) if you can even find the source, which isn't on Github. so it's still doing its part of the deal more than the competition

2. is your RDF available in suitably bite-sized chunks, and with the proper content-negotation availability and served under the right MIME types? a surprising amount of stuff screws this up, even schemas off LOV where they must have bypassed conneg to import 'text/plain' or 'application/octet-stream's that were actually RDF/XML or Turtle.

 Tabulator is useful to see if your webserver is completely FUBAR. especially if you serve Tabulator as normal JS so it's subject to all of the CORS and MIX(HTTP+HTTPS) security stuff.

3. is your Data plausible to make sense of *without* a custom UI? "boring is good" angle of Tabulator helps here. FTP site authors got creative with index-dirs, links, and had no control over what clients users were on. LDP is more flexible than this, but it's good to have a client that is plain, to be sure you're not too tightly-coupled to a particular UI you do most of your developing for. in fact you should comment out all the domain-specific panes while youre at it...
