look to our team in jsbranch where one goal is to use ExtJS all over as 
replace for prototype/scriptaculous in the long term
http://forge.typo3.org/wiki/typo3v4-javascript

It's quite obvious if we have a framework that does all the work, that 
we shouldn't use other frameworks too.

People will learn ExtJS while it's integrated in core and used more and 
more, they get inspired and will use it by themselves for sure :)

But they can use prototype/scriptaculous in there own apps, as libs are 
part of core, but core shouldn't introduce new usage of that libs.
