watching this video and hearing what Sebastian said about ExtJs made me 
Smile...

because if I remember correctly back in 2009 I started some discussions 
about pros/cons ExtJS... I also wanted to push Progressive Enhancement...

sorry had to look it up :p
on the 06.02.2009 I actually wrote some points against ExtjS one of it was:
"9) 90% client-side code -- I still want to do some php with FLOW3"

with the conclusion
"I'm sorry but I don't think ExtJS is the right framework to build 
TYPO3v5 - I mean its good for TYPO3v4 (nice things out of the box, 
powerful data grids) - but to build the next best CMS the javascript 
should be taken more seriously."

seems like after more then 2.5 years the TYPO3v5 team finally agrees 
with me :p

don't know SproutCore 2, but I guess I have to take a look...

I hope that it's code is well encapsulated and may be replaced by other 
JS and that almost all functionality is on the Serverside - Progressive 
Enhancement please :)

Just so that you know this is as far as I know one of the best "middle 
Layer" for Javascript... don't know if SproutCore probably has it, but I 
can only tell that it changed the way how I write and see javascript...

and it's super easy to use if you have a basic knowledge of HTML only...

cheers

PS: if you have any question regarding javascript behaviors feel free to 
ask.
