title: Will ExtJS die?
body: <p>I look at ExtJS, and it appears to provide many of the RIA features that more bulky suites such as Flex provide, without the flash requirement. However, as Open-source initiatiatives such as jQuery-UI continue, will ExtJS simply die at some point? Furthermore, since flash penetration only continues to increase, why put stock in a javascript library?</p>
  
  <p>That said, JavaScript libraries such as jQuery have made gigantic leaps in providing easy-to-use APIs with great functionality, so maybe there's some merit in that.</p>
  
  <p>Thoughts? Opinions? ExtJS has a price tag, so I have to ask this question.</p>
