From what I've heard of IE9, it sure seems to spell doom for Dojo,
ExtJs, YUI, etc. And jQuery too (at least to some extent). They all
have tons of rickety branches based on an "isIE" variable. Dojo, for
example, has hundreds of scripts, each with at least a few sniffs (some
have dozens) and they are all interdependent as hell (often one script
tries to work around the mistakes of others).
IE8 was a major blow, but I think IE9 will be the knockout. What can
they do but scrap the old junk and start over? So much for all of those
pretty widgets.
