Has anyone really looked into a comparison between using a taglib vs. a raw
javascript framework across these dimensions:
1. Performance (page load time / bandwidth) (think s:head across most pages)
2. Expressiveness
3. Unobtrusiveness
4. Maintainability
5. Understandability
6. Modularity
My experience has been that all of these are enhanced when using the later.
I really don't see why even a taglib is even on the table. Perhaps I'm
missing something here, but what is to be gained by unifying javascript
libraries with a taglib façade? This smells of commons logging.

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.
