Smart RoR, We went down the ExtJS path and it was a painful one. The widgets can provide a nice user experience but it comes with a high price on the development side. When you step off the golden path with Rails you lose a lot of the magic. We are in the process of removing ExtJS from our application because there was just too much pain.
