That leads to the question - what about using Widgets from multiple libraries? Rialto doesn't appear to have an editable grid, for example. Perhaps one of the secrets to jquery's success is that it begins with a lightweight library, and invites 3rd parties to write individual plug-ins.


One of the things I liked about Aaron's original plan to use ExtJS was that it was fairly complete and single source. While I'm all in favor of plug-able architectures in general, I think that to use anything that requires users of RPGUI to deal with plugging in bits and pieces from multiple sources would be completely counter to the declared intent of the project.

Those of us who are already "into" thins kind of stuff are not the projects target audience surely. So isn't it important to avoid any additional complexity as much as possible?
