Unless something else has surpassed it in the last couple of years, there's nothing even close in functionality to it. aciTree was in a similar position, though Joao and team think there may be other candidates now. As for Backbone/Backgrid/Backform, I don't know. Backbone could maybe be replaced with React eventually. Not sure about the others. In any case, this is likely to be a problem on an ongoing basis - and I think we need to consider the future on a case by case basis when necessary. It may mean moving to a different library, or it may mean forking components, or it may be the upstream may have not had any commits for a long time simply because there is no development happening right now, but bugs may still be fixed. -- Dave Page Blog: http://pgsnake.blogspot.com Twitter: @pgsnake EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company
