Poll Results: Which AJAX framework do you currently prefer?

Wow, this was an active poll. After nearly 500 votes, with almost 50% of the vote, Dojo is the clear winner. JQuery takes second place with over 20% of the vote and the rest share the remaining 30%. So, it is pretty clear to mean that we should focus our content creation more on the Dojo and JQuery frameworks than the others in our list.

Since this week's InsideRIA poll was such an active one and has generated more interest than any preceding InsideRIA polls, we would like to extend an invitation to Ajax developers:

We're looking for guest bloggers, fulltime bloggers, and article proposals. Got ideas for screencasts or video? We'd like to talk to you. If you are interested in content creation for Dojo, JQuery or any of the other AJAX frameworks, please contact me directly at rtretola@oreilly.com.

i respect that the majority of people voting in your poll chose Dojo, but i sincerely hope this doesn't mean insideRIA will become a Dojo-centric publication. personally, i like hearing about ALL of the frameworks, because each framework excels in its own way, and inspires other frameworks to add or improve specific features.

Not at all. We are a community and strive to be balanced in our coverage of RIA technologies.

@Philip--
We do too =) At the Dojo Toolkit, we try to stay very much aware of what the other toolkits do (because sometimes we're not above stealing it), and to just have one toolkit featured (though that would be cool), it would be bad for the community overall if something like this turned out to be that way!
