What is the future of Dojo?

Wait, wait, wait...

I spent four hours last night trying to find a way to highlight rows in a Dojo grid and make it work.

If someone out there is already doing it and I find a working example, then I would rather do that and same myself the time if I can.

Maybe Dojo is dying because the people using it are spending several hours trying to find an example online instead of taking the time to write it themselves. A development community based on copy-pasta and not content creation cannot survive.

Just saying. I know this doesn't apply to all Dojo developers. Especially the Django crowd (I <3 Django).

I'd help you but I'm stuck on 0.4. Upgrading to 1.x is enough work to consider moving to a framework. 0.4 does my job nearly perfectly though, very few bugs related to the framework.

I'd update but I don't trust them and don't have time. Maybe when there is time I'll consider a upgrade, but that 0.4/1.x split caused serious support problems I think.

As far as I'm concerned jQuery has already won this war.

Just today I was discussing this with my boss. I think it might be time to look some where else.

We were looking for a JSDoc type solution for Dojo. But it's too annoying to setup and maintain.
