Not in the target demographic, but it certainly looks interesting. Over the years I grew used to CSS, and generally find it's good enough for my needs.

I find it incredibly refreshing to see you guys openly point out use-cases where the tool might not be a good fit.

Any plans to license the layout engine? If you decide to go down that path, I'd ask you to consider allowing free non-commercial usage. I probably wouldn't consider paying for a library unless I got to try it first, but if it's a good fit it can be well worth the cost. e.g. At my previous job we ended up buying a Highcharts license by my suggestion, since I'd had positive prior experiences and it was a good fit for our problem.

Here's one complaint I have with some designers: they always design for the perfect scenario. They don't consider what should happen when a value is too long or short, as well as what should happen when dealing with an empty collection, or worse, a large one. Having a way to specify all those kinds of variations would be absolutely amazing.
