Shortly thereafter Yahoo's BrowserPlus plugin came out with similar functionality. And Firefox has some offline support, I think? So again,...
I am thinking about using Gears in a project, but I have doubts about it. Do you think that Gears will really be (or already were) accepted by the community as the state-of-art solution for what it purposes?
