Typically no support or new releases for a project imply a developer
needs to be wary that the project may be "dead" and / or "disappear"
altogether. I think that phenomena does NOT apply to Stripes due to its
maturity and pointed focus on being a web framework and letting other
APIs or components do the additional lifting.
With that said though I have been doing a lot of Drupal 7 / PHP custom
development and I am really enjoying the Ajax support built into the
framework that allows one to:
- Wire form buttons and/or form links as Ajax enabled and include a
callback with a message and/or throbber for the Ajax request
- Pressing or clicking those links causes an Ajax request to go back to
a) rebuild the form and b) fire a callback function that returns the
list of divs that are to be re-rendered in the form
- Return of the Ajax request causes the re-rendered form elements to be
displayed in the web browser
Having worked with Stripes for several years now I can understand the
argument that it is feature complete however:
1) Does Stripes offer any framework support like this?
2) Should Stripes offer framework support like this?
3) What are others doing when building Ajax enabled applications with
Stripes?
4) Has anyone built such support and if so is the community interested
in integrating it into Stripes? Or perhaps rolling it into a sub-project
like Stripersist... say Stripajax ;-)
We are starting a new project which will definitely leverage Ajax in
forms and I am interested in hearing the opinions of the Stripes Users
and Development community.

As a personal anecdote, as we migrate more and more of our server-side
services to an AJAX / REST api, we are finding limitations with
Stripes, so we will most likely phase it out and migrate to something
else. If Stripes had better support for some REST needs (changing
response codes and other HTTP headers), listening for specific HTTP
method calls, etc, we might stick with it.
