(Really, do this today!)


I completely agree with Ted! My only word of caution is that YUI is oriented towards software developers. "Creatives" are probably going to prefer libraries like Mootools that provide simple to use widgets that you don't need to understand (http://demos.mootools.net/). The suitability depends on the type of application you're building. My preference is to write correct javascript.

With respect to GWT, my only experience is experimental (and I bought a book on it!), but if you go down that path you need to make a paradigm shift and stop caring how the html looks. You develop in an environment like Swing with layout managers. UI design needs to follow the same approach you'd use when developing a normal rich application. This paradigm-shift seems to scare off most traditional web developers but attracts developers that prefer the swing-like event model. GWT is probably not suitable if you only need a couple of widgets in a traditional web page. I stopped experimenting with GWT when I realized javascript was actually good.

I can't comment on the JSF features.
