My take on the current situation on client-side frameworks (AJAX-styled?) is that it's a bit wild. We have scriptaculous, prototype, yui, rico and more. Each of them do parts of a framework (eg. drag-n-drop, controls), but even the concept of a client-side framework is kinda hazy. What constitutes a client-side framework exactly?One of the draw back that seems to be evident to me as I've looked into the client side frameworks is changes in the code are ought of your control. WIth a purely server side solution it would seem to give the coder the choice to upgrade when there is time, etc. With the 3rd party frameworks they choose when you upgrade. For the more stable solutions this is less of a problem. For the newer technologies I've heard a lot of grumbling about havingto recode every time there is an upgrade...
So until some organisation big enough comes along to offer a defacto implementation that everybody will take reference from, expect changes and more changes. This of course is good news for web ui developers - more jobs stability for everybody! On the flip side, IE7-8-9 will continue to make a nuisance of themselves.
