I remember looking at MooTools, Prototype/Scriptaculous, and JQuery. The JQuery core had good documentation and a thriving community. But it mainly just felt <em>right</em> somehow. Actually, if I had to point to one thing that really attracted me to JQuery, it's the Sizzle selector engine. The use of CSS-style selectors and XPath-like syntax to reference HTML elements and attributes was utterly brilliant. @bentrem I’m not sure ExtJs showed up on our radar.

(Breaking news: neither http://extjs.com nor http://sencha.com respond! Wow, that's news to me.) I picked it so many years ago I can't recall the rationale. Just wondering what you thought of it. Or, more, why it didn't draw you from JQuery. @bentrem Just wondering if you checked ExtJS. (Breaking news: neither http://extjs.com nor http://sencha.com respond! Wow, that’s news to me.)
