Extendibility is already one of the characteristics of an object-oriented programming language, such as Javascript: Mozilla Extending Javascript and Extending Classes with Prototypes Atlas and their new control suite simply make good use of it. Being experts in packaging, it becomes no brainer to plug these features into their VS IDE.

Skvortsov,
I hear what you are saying and atlas is in its beginning stages and is still a little rough, but the new control suite that has come out and how easy it is too extend is going to make it very attractive to exisiting dotnet programmers. I like how they are turning javascript into a more object-oriented language and it has helped organize my javascript better. I really think that when we see the new Visual Studio IDE that will write atlas more efficiently, it will be hard to ignore it as a viable option for any developer.

We all face choices. Thank you Baskin-Robbins for your “31 flavors”. But, there is still a flavor missing. When we use libraries, we should be able to go to any library (of our choice) and look for any “book” to get what we find “good”. Some have started breaking away from the proprietary “framework” type and hype and are offering integration of many libraries into their products. Hopefully this trend will continue and enrich the Ajax choices and experience of many.

I don’t see discussion based around the twin requirements of an ajax framework, ease of control development and ease of control use. All analysis of ajax frameworks should revolve around these criteria, with a heavier weight applied toward the latter.

most tradition business apps also can be improved by ajax technologies, not only “web 2.0″ websites.

for example, an ajax auto complete support will be good for “select product” or “select customer” in those apps.

Jim,are you really think Atlas is more feature rich than any other js framework?Most useful pars of it are behaviors(but native IE's behaviors better anyway) and webservices support.Look at my comments .

Yingbo, I think you’re going a litle far with the self-promotion in comments on this site. It’s starting to look like spam.

Desinger: select dojo or jquery. Developer: select jsLINB.

How a developer cannot at least consider Atlas is obviously not a real developer and has little development experience. I have used 5 different ajax libraries, including my own, and Atlas is by far the most complete and extendable client side library. It is challenging at first, but makes it much easier down the road to create reusable and clean javascript. Although it works outside asp.net framework, most .NET developers will use Atlas in the future. We’ll see what happens, but my bet is over 50% of Ajax devs will eventually use Atlas.

How a developer with a little self respect can use Atlas is beyond me…
