Thanks, I heard it was a problem in the pipeline and was just about to come to bug you guys about it making into 1.1.3.

I've had lots of progress working with Ext, and it seems to play really nice with jQuery. Ext itself is a pretty tight bundle tho, so unnecessary mixing might cause you to grow gray hair every now and then. I think the biggest obstacles are the lack of up-to-date documentation and tutorials (The Ext API is great and extensive, but not perfectly up to date. The tutorials let you learn but don't contain much of the new useful stuff that has been developed in Ext), and the change of mindset. Going from jQuery to Ext means going from lightweight, linear, under-the-hood quick scripting to a more bundled framework with heavier emphasis on object oriented approach, widgets, components and it's own specifications and ways to do things.

Takes a while to get used to, but in the end they both do their job really well. Digging into Ext was at the same time extremely much fun and extremely frustrating. A good remainder on how utterly important good tutorials and documentation are if you want to grow your user base beyond the hardcore who love digging through the source and the forums.

Anyone jQuery users need some help in starting with Ext, I'll gladly offer some if I can.
