You should check out the library again if you haven't recently. Jack has 
removed most (I believe now all, but I'm not 100% certain) of the 
dependencies on YUI. Its really more of its own library now. If you 
click on the Download link on the yui-ext site, you can build your own 
set of scripts and it will show you all the dependencies. As far as I 
can tell, it no longer has any outside dependencies. The base yui-ext.js 
file takes care of all the core functionality. It is 47 Kb though, so 
not exactly lightweight.

I like that all additional functionality is separated into lightweight 
libraries though that are designed to let you mix and match to suit the 
project at hand.

I know he's working hard on a couple things right now and his blog has 
been unusually quiet, so I'm expecting to see a big new release soon, 
perhaps even a 1.0 version.

Anyway, worth checking out if you are interested in well written JS 
libraries.
