Seems like Apple is stick it's nose into the web development game finally, by opening up the framework they used to create MobileMe.

Haven't had time to play, but it looks like you need Ruby to develop with, and I'm not even sure it's available for Windows. Thoughts?

Did Apple is it to create MobileMe? It doesn't look like they had anything to do with the development of the framework.

Those demos seem slow and clunky and simply dont work on IE6.

The framework that i've really wanted to learn is extJS. It has some really cool samples. I used the datagrid component in a project that I put together but I still need to learn the framework as a whole.

I've been impressed with Spry 1.6, not sure how this will stack up. Spry is pretty easy to get going with, well documented, and browser-stable.

Some nice stuff there.

dunno about sproutcore, but extJS has my attention now.

Just realized, it sounds like a vegan musical movement.

ExtJS looks awesome.

extJS looks cool. I've been using jquery for most of my web dev.
