and - for me it is difficult to make a vote - each frmaework has his own 
strength, e.g. has extjs the best grids i ever saw, but extjs also is very 
big and for some cases too slow.
Mootools is a very "clean coded" library with much power and effects.
I'm sure Ries would tell same from Dojo.

So I only know 3 frameworks really, i work with 2, i'm interested in more.
