Great work Dan! This is always a big argument in some circles, the size issue. It's a trade off that has to be weighed in any application development. If your users are known to be primarily on broadband, then it's not as much of an issue, especially since browsers have caching turned on by default (something developers typically turn off, leave off, and forget that users don't share that experience).
I love the JQuery components, which will be much more uniform when UI is officially released in a few weeks, but ExtJS has a much larger (and sweeter) component library that is completely uniform, very tight, and it doesn't hurt that it looks just like the CF8 Ajax components. For a large application, where you will have many different interfaces, ExtJS definitely gives you an extremely extensive framework to work with.
