I would also rather see the CouchDB developers leverage a single
JavaScript framework than build their own or even mix a few
together, as the first wastes their time when they could be
improving CouchDB core and the second limits the ease at which new
developers can contribute, since it requires familiarity with more
than one library. Additionally, backing ones own JavaScript library
basically ensures that no one else will be familiar with it.
Personally, if I were choosing a JavaScript library, I would choose
ExtJs or YUI because I am familiar with them, but I don't see how
choosing and settling on jQuery is a bad decision.
I think what's needed is a few examples of people using <insert
favourite AJAX framework here> with CouchDB on the wiki from the
community. What's used in Futon is somewhat irrelevant, and should be
decided by who ever is doing the work to upgrade it. So long as
there's not a proliferation of javascript frameworks in the CouchDB
dependancy list I don't see an issue.
