After server side gzip it becomes 150 - 200 kb. And there are many examples which can be found in <a href="http://www.sencha.com/products/js/" rel="nofollow">extjs samples.</a> Also <a href="http://www.sencha.com/products/designer/?ref=family" rel="nofollow">Ext Designer</a> is a big progress I think. It was challenging at the beginning. But ExtJS has a strong forum and many members may help you. For example with this help I can finish such a <a href="http://logvrp.com" rel="nofollow">project</a> without any knowledge about javascript and ExtJS.

It has alot of those premade out of the box elements that can speed up development - but at the same time, they can make your online app look a bit generic. Tradeoffs I suppose. Personally, I'm still a fan of jQuery for my JS, but this one still packs a punch. @Steve

It is a heavy framework, and definitely strikes me as something for more rapid development than some frameworks. It has alot of those premade out of the box elements that can speed up development – but at the same time, they can make your online app look a bit generic. Tradeoffs I suppose. Personally, I’m still a fan of jQuery for my JS, but this one still packs a punch.

If you need something not very complex then something like jQuery could be a better choice. Also ExtJS is a bit havy (around 500kb for packed scripts), although they have a custom builder now.

Even I've no idea how to use it. Right at the top of the main page is only download button, if you mean http://extjs.com/. Then it was a big fun to comb not only with the thousands of lines but also dozens of files of wordpress-code, because you'll catch many solutions besides the target, you can use at another time and I've a pretty good search function that opens all affected files at once. So it's everybody is different in learning. I've downloaded the kit, but only because you recommend it so much and the file organizer looks cool. Let's have a look, how it works. :) At least I've to write the ajax-framework is not nessecary anymore to call a server and I'm not on the way to learn or to use outdated technics, even if it might be easy to code with this tool. Thanks for the link and have a good time.
