Jack Slocum and team are nearing release of Ext 2.0. There is a preview up on the Ext blog. I've been bouncing back and forth between MooTools and Ext 1.1 for a few projects I'm building. MooTools is small and a little easier for me to wrap my head around if I'm just trying to drop in a specific widget. Ext is much larger, and at least to my mind is a more all or nothing proposition. So you probably wouldn't want to get involved if you just need one little effect. But I'm strangely excited about Ext 2.0 and I have one project that has been waiting for it's release. The previews confirm what I expected - it looks amazing. For building a full blown web application with just HTML, javascript, and CSS (i.e., no Flash) there doesn't seem to be anything else that can touch it.
