One of the things I liked about Aaron's original plan to use ExtJS was  
that it was fairly complete and single source. While I'm all in favor  
of plug-able architectures in general, I think that to use anything  
that requires users of RPGUI to deal with plugging in bits and pieces  
from multiple sources would be completely counter to the declared  
intent of the project.

Those of us who are already "into" thins kind of stuff are not the  
projects target audience surely. So isn't it important to avoid any  
additional complexity as much as possible?
