ignar, I disagree with you completely.

I have quite a complex appl 100% dojo, and FF, Safari and Opera work really good.. In fact, it’s incredible how they manage correctly lots of things.

IE6 and IE7 are quite bad and Chrome is the top bullshit browser.. Really the worst.

But I guess it will depend of your app and what you are using in it.

Dojo is a great framework, but he has one minus.
I am from Ukraine, and Opera is one of the most widespread browsers
and dojo’s dijit does not support him.
It is a pity.

I suppose I am being a bit harsh. Sorry JavaScript libraries! :)

@deanedwards: I think that’s unfair. While it may be safe to say they’ve centered on largely jQuery-like patterns (though of course there are some big differences), I wouldn’t say they’ve stopped innovating; they’ve simply stopped innovating their APIs, which is a good thing. It means they’re stable APIs.

Where they’re innovating is in the internals, which is bringing real improvements to their users, with little need to change code. That’s a good thing!

All the major libraries have ended up looking like jQuery. Now they just bicker about who is the fastest. Library authors stopped innovating 2-3 years ago.

“Doesn’t look like Dojo does it?”
.
No, it looks like jQuery. :)
