I was just doing some of that last week. They definitely make it CSS friendly. Check out this one, I like it most of all the themes out there. http://extjs.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15989 I would schedule about 2-3 man-weeks of css and image manipulation. I am excited to see the lists in TargetProcess. I think it will really help. Especially the inline editing. One idea...Maybe have a tree on the left side with all the iterations and releases and when you are looking at a list you could drag and drop an item into the iteration right there. That could also act as a navigation. The layout engine for EXT makes this a breeze. Skinning EXT isn’t so bad. I was just doing some of that last week. They definitely make it CSS friendly.

There is a Js + Ext learning curve you have to go through, but IMHO it was well worth it! However, some sites won't suite Ext in my opinion so it all depends on what you're doing. I also looked at Gaia, but found it a bit clunky. I'm sure it's good for some projects though... Mee too, I’m using Ext with my .NET application and it’s great.

One problem that we should resolve is create custom skin for ExtJS and I expect it will be quite painful task...

They're co-ordinating efforts with the Ext team to provide a Microsoft .NET wrapper for ExtJS. I haven't tried it, and it's early days, but the project looks promising if you want to get Ext quality in .NET. Another Ext related Ajax toolkit is Coolite (http://www.coolite.com).

Seems shorter to type. 3 versus 5 characters. If you count shifting, then its 4 versus 7. That's 3 characters! Think of all the time you will save! Interesting article by the way.
