Michael, thanks for the quick response.
We have a reactive web application which needs to be migrated off Flex.
As you know, Flex has binding concepts in it's MXML, which we use extensively.
There are no references from our viewmodels to our views for example.
(in my view, the minute you have a non-view component referencing a
view, e.g. by 'id', you don't have an MVVM application).
We have decided on Webix over ExtjS for these reasons:
1) Webix has better widgets, particularly for grids.
2) the Webix JSON config is much cleaner than Extjs's.
3) ExtJs looks extremely bloated, at almost 2 Mb (vs around 360k for webix).
4) Webix seems easier to skin.
5) Webix seems to work better on mobile devices, with one code base
(try out the Webix and Extjs demos from a mobile device).
As you note, Webix has JSON based config system similar to ExtJS.
Also, as you note, Webix has no current concept of View binding, or
any other reactive concepts.
I've been building reactive web applications since 1999, and have
probably investigated every reactive framework out there (and
contributed to a few). GluJs seems to be a very well thought out MVVM
framework, probably even better than Flex or Silverlight.
Your offer of providing an Extjs-free version of GluJs is very exciting.
I'd be willing to try and integrate it both with Webix, and Firebase,
which is a very interesting reactive-capable backend.
Best
David
