Joe, I mostly agree with you. What I've been trying to say is that most of the user will not like to have a big dependency on Dojo for simple functionality like a calendar component. And I agree, this is my case too. I would prefere something small and working almost everywhere. We have even been thinking to add a new AJAX theme based on lighter solutions (a la prototype). And if this will work, I would almost sure vote for removing the dependency on Dojo. But this is way to personal :-).
