Yes. I would care to comment.
If you need to drive a nail you use a hammer, not a sledge-hammer.
If you just want to do a rool-over, you use the onmouseover event of a link
tag.
If you need to create, delete, move, show, hide update, clone a layer,
and you need this to work in NS AND IE,
(not to mention that NS will kill all of your layers when you re-size the
browser)
THEN you use a library like DynAPI.
Personally I do not find it "too encumbering for practical web dev use"
or I would not be using it in a 30 million dollar product now would I?
