Why isn't everything as easy as ColdFusion? It's a loaded and obviously rhetorical question ... loaded because I've been using CF for nearly 15 years (gasp!) and rhetorical for, well, pretty much the same reason.
That might seem an odd way to begin a post on the quandary between using jQuery and ExtJS, two powerful and distinct JavaScript frameworks among the many out there. I've used jQuery for a couple of years now, and ExtJS for about a week, and the differences between the two have painted me into quite a corner, development-wise. And please, don't assume this is another "vs" comparison, because it isn't. I really like jQuery, and in my brief introduction am a bit in awe of ExtJS, but having developed for so long I approach every new framework with a healthy amount of trepidation.
