Re: [PROPOSAL] Deprecate or remove Dojo plugin

[Al Sutton]

ExtJS is a big no-no in my book. To use it in a commercial project you 
need to buy a license, which would put off a lot of commercial customers.

Personally I use YUI for two reasons;

1) It's easy to separate out and include only the parts I need in my 
webapp so I don't end up with war bloat.
2) The mailing lists seemed reasonably active.

The thing is, it depends a whole lot on what you are doing with it.

For example, the people I know who are developing rich client-side apps with
JavaScript are using Ext JS or Dojo. None of them are using YUI because YUI
simply isn't appropriate, or complete enough, for that kind of usage. It's
perfectly fine, though, if what you want is to add some AJAXy capabilities
to a more traditional web app.

As another example, there are certainly plenty of people building point
applications with Prototype and its friends, but if you're building
something that needs to be extensible and include components from elsewhere,
you almost certainly don't want to be using a framework that messes with
core JavaScript types.

Isn't Dojo the defacto ajax standard on the web?
        
In terms of deployments I'd put money on Prototype and/or jQuery. Not
      
that it's a large sample size, but I don't know *anybody* using Dojo outside
of S2.
