(I think Benji's question is not whether JS is mature but the AJAX  
library landscape is mature; that's certainly what I question)

Sure: we're all interested in this because we think/know in will help  
our customer apps.

You're right, each of the various frameworks do seem to each choose a  
single toolkit.  The difference between everybody's perspective,  
though--for instance, I tend to strongly agree with you about the  
CrackAJAX approach, but I know others who agree with Florent--makes  
me wonder if we should settle there.  If we do, it seems like it  
ought to be a "light" (i.e., replacable) decision.
