Sorry, English is not my native language. I was referring to the stackoverflow answer where it said gwt is a toolkit, cappucino is a framework. Sproutcore is a framework, so it seems someone would choose between cappucino or sproutcore if what they were looking for is a framework.

There are many similar frameworks to choose from. Such as: (in no particular order)

GWT (http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/)

SmartClient (http://www.smartclient.com)

NOLOH (http://www.noloh.com)

DHTMLX (http://www.dhtmlx.com)

QooXdoo (http://qooxdoo.org/)

Vaadin (http://www.vaadin.com)

Echo (http://echo.nextapp.com/site/echo2)

Servoy (http://www.servoy.com/)

Sproutcore (http://www.sprotcore.com)

Sencha (http://www.sencha.com)

Each of the above has their strengths and weaknesses, and there are many more frameworks than I can list at the moment, but even with the select list above we can see there are many more contenders in this space than just Cappuccino, Sproutcore, and GWT.
