I hear a lot about ExtJs actually. I've been using their framework for complex Javascript systems for a while now and it keeps getting better and better. I can see they invest a lot of resources in it. Its not popular with the 'gimme it for free' crowd though. I agree its not for everyone though its a commercial project (albeit free with GPL licence for open source projects), but then again you do get what you pay for here - nothing else that I've seen so far (and I've seen a lot) even comes close in terms of polish. Another common extjs deterrent is that its a complete framework with all batteries included, and requires an investment in a new mindset as far as how to develop single page browser apps. I found it more similar to Java Swing apps or other Desktop tool kits than any other JavaScript framework.
- aespinoza 14y agoYes, I agree. I use extjs for our product (iKnode), but lately we have been moving towards AngularJs. But I agree, extjs needs a considerable amount of investment in time and mindshare, because of the way it is built. I actually like it very much. Hey I built my product based on it. But lately I have seen extjs as old, and in need of love. AngularJs for example is easily lovable and easy to learn.
- as_if 14y agoI felt that ExtJS4s MVC concept was easier to grasp than Angular. But I had to replace parts of it with DeftJS to get it to do what I wanted.
