Ext2 overrode many functions defined by Prototype on basic elements such as functions. We had paid support with them; when we had issues upgrading prototype to 1.6 their answer was to \"...not use flaky libraries like Prototype...\". Now I don't necessarily have love for prototype but it is rather well established and shouldn't be written off wholesale like that by the engineers at Sencha. I guess my main beef with Ext is that there is a reason they offer paid support (perhaps their attitude has changed in more recent products)", "group_id": 160, "id": 1448180}, {"user_id": 12901, "stars": [], "topic_id": 39828, "date_created": 1308781075.8273611, "message": "@jacksontomlinson ExtJS has gotten better over the years, better practices.
