It’s not you. It drives me insane. I really don’t understand why it requires so many page reloads to navigate a thread.
If you have too much noise in your comment section, Graphcomment is a nice (not free) alternative. https://graphcomment.com/en (I work for GraphComment)

jQuery is dom traversal and manipulation (with a common ajax interface) - ExtJS is (was) a UI framework. It's an apples and oranges comparison - I worked on several ExtJS projects, all of which used jQuery for one thing or another. I think it's actually pretty accurate to say that frameworks like angular are more responsible for its decline since their feature sets are much more similar.
That is all technically correct (best kind). But that’s not how it’s viewed by the scores of people new to web development. Broadly speaking, you can use both to create a dynamic UI, just at very different levels of abstraction. And at the time when an ExtJS license cost hundreds of dollars and jQuery was picking up pace and was proper FOSS, someone new to web development would be much more likely to reach for jQuery…
> 2005: Smart phones did not exist. Yeah, ok.
Well, yeah. Phones at that time were mostly just laid out to render WAP pages only, if anything at all. And virtually nobody used that feature. Phones actually rending HTML/CSS/JS in a useful way came years later, roughly 2007+.
2011: Ember.js released
2012 (?): KendoUI came out and is just better than Sencha
2013: Angular, Backbone, Ember become mainstream
2013: React.js released
2015: Ember and Angular copy React
2017: React mainstream
I dont think it had anything to do with license. Browsers got better, javascript got easier, single page apps became popular, competition happened, Sencha is complicated as hell.
I remember the moment when I drew a line in the sand and simply refused to use ExtJS any more: I discovered that the mysterious bug I'd been hunting all day went away if I removed a comment. It turns out that ExtJS was building some kind of dependency tree by scanning my source code (at runtime!) and looking for things that looked like variable assignments. And it got confused by a commented-out assignment. I don't r…
I doubt that ExtJS was parsing/analyzing JS code at runtime.
What's the best way to migrate from ExtJS (50k LOC codebase)? They had many excellent components, buffered lists, grouping in lists, tree panels etc. So many useful components. Is there an alternative?
These screenshots are from 2014 but have React and KendoUI playing together: http://curator-lilita-10664.bitballoon.com/related-study-ite... http://curator-lilita-10664.bitballoon.com/faceted-study-ite... http://curator-lilita-10664.bitballoon.com/work-area-metadat...
KendoUI and Sencha are pretty much the same thing so I would expect you not to have much trouble.

It's quite possible they did do that. For example, Angular parses your source to perform Dependency Injection based on argument names.
Well thanks for that. Now I know what not to use.
Angular 4 is TypeScript and therefore much less hacky.
What the community probably didn't realise is that bills had to be paid in a tough situation. The price rise was not something they did out of greed but rather something of a last ditch effort to be profitable.
perhaps, but why did they let the 'bills' get so high?
