CSS styling to make widgets match a common LAF is very time consuming. It would be better to have the widget developers rally around a common LAF or two. What's your opinion on this?

I've found a couple comparison errors in your post, though. Dojo supports features you claim it doesn't. Evidence: Combobox: Dojo has several ComboBox controls (And has since version 0.4): http://archive.dojotoolkit.org/nightly/dojotoolkit/dijit/tests/form/_autoComplete.html?testWidget=dijit.form.ComboBox http://archive.dojotoolkit.org/nightly/dojotoolkit/dijit/tests/form/_autoComplete.html?testWidget=dijit.form.FilteringSelect http://archive.dojotoolkit.org/nightly/dojotoolkit/dijit/tests/form/test_MultiSelect.html It is a major widget. I'm surprised your article failed to state Dojo has it. Sparklines: Dojo has this as well. It has been present since 1.1. http://archive.dojotoolkit.org/nightly/dojotoolkit/dojox/charting/tests/test_sparklines.html Carousel: Dojo has a varient of a carousel style widget as well (Called Thumbnail picker) (Has existed since 1.1): http://archive.dojotoolkit.org/nightly/dojotoolkit/dojox/image/tests/test_ThumbnailPicker.html Good article!
