RoughlyDrafted Magazine has posted an in-depth article that examines Sproutcore, an Apple-backed Javascript framework that approximates Cocoa on the web. The article examines why using HTML, Javascript, and CSS just may win the battle with Flash, Silverlight, and Java for rich internet application deployment. Sproutcore enables web developers to create full-featured cross-browser web apps an in a Model, View, Controller convention, much like Rails. The Sproutcore site has some great tutorials that show off the framework.

I don't have much experiences with ajax toolkit. Just play arount with dojo and scriptaculous.
But I found the idea of listener(observer) very interesting. I don't know if it's because I didn't look deep enough inside other framework, but the logic seems to be quite more natural. Just add a listener, and your object is fully dynamic, in the opposite of explicitly writing script that target other dom element.
At first, it looks like it require less code and less hassle.
