That will raise the question which JS framework should be supported. I like ExtJS for the BE, but
jQuery is IMHO much better suited for FE as ExtJS is such a heavy-weight.

But there are many other frameworks and ExtJS is the only framework (besides scriptaculous) that is
shipped.

So adding view helpers for ExtJS make sense, but is a bit limited. OTOH jQuery has many different
widgets for the same functionality (think TER). It will be hard to decide which widget shall be
supported. Perhaps this can be limited down to the widgets of jQuery UI.
