Thanks Anthony for feedback. However, not using UI widgets at all would be loosing a lot of great user interface goodness... Overall you can make Rails Standard UI better but when you need ExtJS grids you need them. Web Service style json output... and input in JSON would have to be created so that params get populated in similar way....and models remain same. It's harder I agree. Lots of output json JavaScript massage... But in the long run your website will operate better. I know jQuery has serialize form style. However, we also need some standard JavaScript libray functions to lessen this pain...... Any more feedbacks and solutions here...
