ExtJS or SmartClient?

Hi,

I would like your opinion about these two frameworks. I like a lot the features of ExtJS, but recently I saw SmartClient and it seems to be great too, and free (its Client side features) for commercial projects. I tried a little of SmartClient and it seems to be easier than ExtJS, and it has a better documentation tnan ExtJS.

BUT.. I didn't work with any of these frameworks and maybe I'm wrong. That's why I would like the opinion of people who has worked with them.

And BTW.. how does the license of ExtJS work? you've to but one license for each developer and then you're able to develop and sell every app you want or you have to buy a license for each app you sell?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I would prefer Jquery UI. Which is supported well by community. By combining plugins you can get similar -if not better- screens provided by extJS and SmartClient.

Thanks for your answer! I forgot to mention that I used jQuery for my projects for about two years. I like it but looking at extJS or SmartClient components it seems that they require much less code that it would with jQuery. And I love the DataSource and DataBounded components from SmartClient. With a few lines you've got a complex form binded with a DataSource via REST services (or WSDL). I suppose that ExtJS has something similar?
