That said, now that JQuery is also part of ZF 1.7, I now have a choice. Most apps I build don't need the Dojo widgets and for those I feel JQuery is the way to go.

Also, the markup stuff they do is valid HTML, as the spec says you can define your own attributes... Most validators just don't like them. Of course, you don't have to use the markup based approach. I don't really like it either, so I just declare stuff in JavaScript. So far what I’ve used of Dojo work just fine in all major browsers.

The thing about the attributes is why I definitely won’t ever consider Dojo or Dijit. The widgets may be pretty and functional, but in a production environment it's crucial that the code is cross browser, and a lot of the widgets aren't! And especially not the dijit editor widget.
