[FLOW3-general] Rumours of Phoenix dropping ExtJS?

[Regine Rosewich]

Hi Robert,

I fully agree with your comment and first have to acknowledge a little
misunderstanding. The two months I mentioned were not meant as the
usage-period for Sproutcore as a whole but for Sproutcore as Typo3-Phoenix
Backend. 

Second I consider the Typo3-Phoenix Team as competent enough (far more than
a single person like e. g. me) to make well-founded decisions.
 
Third the bunch of possible solutions for an adequate Javascript-Client is
so big and the community of followers for each of those frameworks as well,
that even though TYPO3V5 will be far better than TYPO3V4 the idiom that you
"can't be everybody's darling" (or as Chris Rea the famous Rock-and-Roller
said "there will always be "Ferrarists" - as I am - and "None-Ferrarists")
remains valid (There still will be "TYPO3ists" and "None-TYPO3ists" - may be
a bit more "TYPO3ists" <gg>).

Fourth and final, all the well-known Javascript Frameworks did not take a
straightforward development but jumped from one side to another when rolling
out major releases which meant a lot of problems for the followers (e. g.
ExtJs 3 -> ExtJs 4). That's what I meant with the "worst that still might
come". But, and that is the good news, they all followed an invisible common
target to make the MVC-Paradigm available for JavaScript. So may be the
jumping around has come to an end(for Sproutcore and ExtJs I'm pretty much
sure that it is so).
