I'm still learning more about the javascript integration through the jquery xtra shipped with 1.7, but when I look at all the hoops you have to jump through to do some basic things with javascript in the "Zend" way... I just get the feeling its more trouble than its worth.
The jquery plugin viewhelpers are nice... but do I really want my javascript that tied in to my php? And for that matter do I want to write a new view helper for every jquery plugin I develop (or use?) It seems like its handicapping you a little bit, or at the very least forcing you to do quite a bit of extra work to do anything advanced. I think I might go the way of dynamic javascript includes... where controllers not only automatically render their associated view (via name matching), but also include their associated javascript. This would be great for javascript instantiation. Then you could also have a library of reusable js that can be dynamically included via the various classes you use in your view (identified by their matching name). It really seems this jquery/zend integration is quite the opposite of the jquery motto... write less, do more. Am I totally off base?
