A lot of the issues that you outlines can be dealt with by proper toolkit selection. It sounds to me that you have outgrown the jQuery (and other small rapid to develop in toolkits) and need something more robust. As it sits there are really only two players in the top end game and they are Ext and Dojo. Of the two I prefer Dojo for a host of reasons. But almost everything you have outlined are covered by both toolkits. If you are trying to build full on web apps the smaller toolkits are not a good choice as you are continually having to bolt on features. Whereas the larger toolkits have application architecture built into them.

- kls 16y agoRight, I mentioned BackBone in one of my other posts. You can bold on what you need to jQuery via some supporting projects, but many of the supporting projects are not at the maturity level of some of the larger toolkits. I do like BackBone but prefer to use Dojo's approach when it comes to large apps. jQuery can still be utilized with Dojo as well, where dojo provides all of the application architecture services and jQuery provides the UI services.
