What was your experience with Ext? I had to use it for a few years, and was never a huge fan. We ran into a lot of obscure bugs in their code which resulted in a number of hackaround "Ext.Overrides," and their support forums (Mitch Simmeons in particular) is a joke.
- k__ 10y agoWhich version did you use? I only used ExtJS 4 and 4.1 I liked their API documentation and the xtypes that allowed for declarative Views. React reminded me of this later.
- shortstuffsushi 10y agoI started on 3(.5?) and helped with a migration to 4 (which was a disgusting mistake of a process on our end). I like the format of their docs -- JSDuck was my favorite docset for a quite a while. I also enjoyed their methodology for constructing views and view hierarchies. Ultimately, I'd say I was a fan of what they were doing, I just think the implementation was rather shoddy, and the docs were frequently wrong or outdated, and (as mentioned) support was not good. When I got to React, it actually did bring back some memories of Ext, but without the full MVC hierarchy around views.
- k__ 10y agoAh yes. I read about those problems. First they changed the license then the switch from 3 to 4. This cost them many customers. I started with 4, so I didn'T encounter these problems.
