I was excited about dojo as well but I really found
that the widgets loaded quite slowly.  Maybe I am just
doing it wrong but (for example) when using the tab
widget on IE I'd see all the tab panes for a second or
two before the control initialized.  I find that
unacceptable.  Again, I'm probably not using it
correctly but it's just too hard to use right IMHO.

I do have great hope for it's future though, I think
in a year or two the docs will be better and some of
those problems will fix themselves either in the code
or by faster browsers.  Just right now it's too much
for me.  My two cents.  -john
