> I had to work with Sencha/ExtJS early 2010. It was the same feeling. Yes, it is powerfull, but too much magic happen for something without a clear orientation (at the time, now it is used for data loaded frontend i think). PS i don't understand what it wants me to do. Bit off-topic, but I worked with ExtJS around the same time, and I found it one of the most confusing development experiences I ever had. "It's so easy, just add this one property to this deeply nested object you're passing to this function!" Thinking back on it, it's a really good example of "simple vs. easy". It didn't help it gave not a peep if you got one of those data structures wrong (capitalisation typo, wrong location, etc.) Plus in hindsight the whole idea of "OS semantics in your browser!" was never a good one to start with, although that wasn't as obvious to me at the time.
