Which is wonderful IFF you are interested in developing for Android and the Web.This brings you a smaller Web engine, Script Widgets, Google Sign-in, Android audio playback improvements and so much more.
Their team should be congratulated on what they seem to have achieved
(I have no access to DP5 to actively assess how effective these achievements are).

HOWEVER, I have had a feeling, for several years now, that LC, while concentrating on mobile and web development, have almost
totally neglected Desktop improvements.
This is where I feel LC and OXT should start to diverge.
After all, OXT is unlikely to pick up users of the type that LC is obviously targeting at the moment.
What OXT is likely (in my opinion) to pick up is people who are interested in:
1. Desktop development.
2. Rapid Prototyping.
My recent 'problem' with SVG import (which commercial LC has sorted out, and Mark Waddingham has, very generously,
told me a way to sort this out, with the caveat that that method MAY NOT be used in LC derivatives = OXT) is one
of those areas where OXT needs to work.
OBVIOUSLY the ability to run natively on Macintosh ARM provessors is an unambiguous achievement.
