I do have plans for the TYPO3 5 backend which you'll surely like.  
We'll start
with a more intensive brainstorming phase and first implementations  
after the
T3BOARD08 (ie. in April). I gladly invite you joining us in that  
brainstorming
and of course the development, if you like.

Which JS framework we'll use is still do be decide upon but extJS  
surely is
a really sophisticated one. However, what I most fear currently is  
that it's
just to heavy. Rumors (and my own experience) with high memory usage  
and lots
of leaks are not very encouraging. However, that might have changed  
with v2 -
I haven't played so much with the 2.0 final yet.
