Hey there, I work on YUI, and there's definitely lots of active development still going on with it. There's sometimes a bit of confusion with YUI2 and YUI3, with YUI2 being much older and more verbose. YUI3 is a lot more developer-friendly, and we've worked to build more modern components such as Pure CSS [1] and the YUI App Framework [2]. SmugMug's new site that they released a few days ago (http://www.smugmug.com/ http://www.smugmug.com/) is built on top of YUI, and it looks absolutely fantastic. If there's anything I can help you out with, definitely feel free to let me know! We've definitely come a long way since YUI2.

I can back clarle up, YUI is oftern misinterpreted as the old, while in reality it's rocksolid and good enough to build large stuff. Unfortunately the entry-cost is too high, that could be improved by a wrapper class that allows jquery minded people to go faster. http://yuilibrary.com/ http://yuilibrary.com/ could need a design overhaul, it looks like Java Documentation http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javaee/documentation/index.html http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javaee/documentation/.... What could be the reason, Bad marking maybe, idk? YUI not only has pretty good damn support for ARIA and their templates conforms easily conform to WCAG AAA. What I like about YUI is that they continually improve and reinvent themselves. Something you cannot say about extjs and jqueryui for example. PS: In 2002 - 2004 (not sure when), I've sent a huge css file (it resetted every tag) to a friend working at Yahoo and I was glad when they announced YUI CSS a month later which may or may not have built on my code, it remarkably defined the web. Today you can see html5boilerplate borrowing these ideas Yahoo once put into the mainstream with their awesome Framework.

Thanks for the post. I'm mainly looking for advanced tables and window layouts. I will have to take a closer look. Any thoughts on the emerging standards like XBL and shadow dom in relation to YUI?

  If you're looking for more desktop-style layouts, I'd recommend checking out AlloyUI (http://alloyui.com/ http://alloyui.com/), which builds on top of YUI3. They've been doing a lot of great work there. On emerging standards, we're definitely taking a look at those, we have a few Gallery modules (our user-contributed modules, which can be approved to be placed on the Yahoo! CDN) that do act as polyfills for several of the new emerging standard elements. I don't remember offhand if we have some for XBL or Shadow DOM yet, but I definitely know that we had a module for X-Tag [1] a while back. I'll definitely check it out, and get back to you on the rest. [1]: http://www.x-tags.org/ http://www.x-tags.org/
