I think another factor that might warrant some consideration is what
other vendors in the "i" space are doing. Two of the more visible
players -- IBM and Zend -- have thrown considerable support behind
Dojo.
I read somewhere that one of the factors that led IBM to go down the
Dojo road was accessibility.

Hi Aaron
It seems you can spend a lot of time looking for the perfect framework,
or settle on something more generic like jQuery and then spend all your
time looking for the perfect gallery or grid or whatever. ;-)
The chart you referred to that compares various frameworks, well, it
seems that jQuery has a lot of things covered, as does Dojo and a couple
others. One does end up, based on my limited experience, doing maybe a
little more work with some of these. But the plugins for jQuery can give
us so much.
I think we are using jQuery quite a bit here - the green-haired kid
prefers it, at least up to now.
Thoughts from the peanut gallery!

Hi all,
I am looking for alternatives to ExtJS, because of the licensing
complications, and have found Rialto:
http://rialto.improve-technologies.com/wiki/
Rialto is released under the Apache license:
http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html
It has an approach similar to ExtJS in that you configure ui widgets and add
them to a form or grid or etc.
One issue I see is that it isn't as popular as I'd hoped (see the support
link and look at the amount of emails on the Yahoo forum)
Thoughts?
