2. ExtJS - this looks like the market leader judging from the size of the community and the Alex rank for sencha.com. It is only free for GNU deployments. The developer license is priced around US$500, and distribution is royalty free i think. I also came across another commercial framework (can't remember the name) that charges couple hundreds per distribution so this sounds cheap in comparison! Like Qooxdoo, it also comes with RPC framework, which they call ExtDirect, and like Qooxdoo, there's no pascal example. I've tested ExtJS indirectly when using Extpascal, the interface generated by ExtJS seems to be quite slow - I've not really done an equivalent comparison with Qooxdoo, but Qooxdoo seems to be a little quicker.
I work with ExtJS and FPC extensively currently. you'll notice that there are ExtDirect support files in FPC: see packages/fcl-web. There are examples available. Since I need this for commercial work, you're guaranteed of good support :-) ExtJS and Ext.Direct are a breeze. The Store for ExtJS data controls is controlled by a FPC WebDataProvider - essentially a no-code solution. All server side coding can be done in RAD. For my part, ExtJS would be the way to go.
