with Sproutcore that's quite debatable, but still).

Just out of curiosity: what do you mean by that last remark? (I've been
interested in SproutCore but haven't really played with it yet.)

Apart from the fact that SproutCore uses ruby generators to generate its files and compile to a static build not much to be honest, but there's always people nitpicking :-) The actual code you write is still Javascript of course.

I'm more familiar with ExtJS (using it in production apps) although in a way I wish I wasn't. Don't get me wrong, it certainly has its merits, but there's just too much in there that doesn't gel with me for some reason. It's probably just personal preference though, just like I prefer Ruby and Rails over some other languages, frameworks and DSLs.

Only dipped my toes into SproutCore but it's certainly an interesting framework and I might pick it up if the right project comes along. However, I'm especially looking forward to Yehuda's work of abstracting certain parts of SproutCore so I can hook those into existing and new apps (the whole binding MVC part for example).
