AFAIK new JS functionality in the BE should use ExtJS. If someone has 
the opportunity to change the possibly remaining 
prototype/scriptaculous/etc. functionality to ExtJS that would be great!

The only arguments I can think of are:
- TYPO3 Core uses ExtJS for the BE, so that framework is already loaded
- it's easier to re-use functionality from the Core
- TYPO3 v5 is also built on ExtJs
