Neil, Backbase is more robust, I'll give it that, but have you used it. Speaking specifically about 0 to 60, Backbase is horrible. It takes you completely away from your normal way of handling xhtml and attempts to provide MXML/XAML functionality. The things it can do are pretty amazing/great but their implementation simply isn't desireable AND the price is ridiculous.When I spoke to them about it the reps answer was (in my words; it has been some months since I spoke to them) "the big companies don't mind the price." We went round and round but ultimately he said to wait a few weeks for an announcement regarding the community edition. Anyways, Backbase forces you to change your entire infrastructure and base it around them. For Ajax, that isn't desireable.
I doubt Tom is using Spry because it is free. Spry is a great tool and 0 to 60, as I said, it is #1 in my book. Most ajax toolkits are free and those that cost, to me, aren't worth it. You can grab a DHTML library and something like JSMX and rival Backbase, or others, any day.
