I think this is awesome. Gaia AjaxWidgets are some of the best most 'developer friendly' controls in the industry. Lightweight, agile, and simple to use. No need for ScriptManager! The JS footprint is small and compact as well.. only a few hundred lines vs Microsoft's 6000+ lines for AJAX enabled stuff.

This is a terrific deal.

"This is a terrific deal."

Says who?

"There exists a far superior one. It's called.
Gaia Ajax Widgets {Gaia Ajax Widgets}.
I've mentioned it before in my Dev Tools. I work closely with the core developers, learning, working with, suggesting, and sometimes working on the product."

And your point is?
BTW, "says who" back to you!
You've down-voted every single item I've submitted to DZone the last couple of weeks, and you only vote up for Java stuff, so I am sorry to do this but it would seem unfair to not turn the same question back to you...

Says me. :)
Just because I know them, and help out when I can, doesn't mean anything. I have faith in the product. Thanks for quoting my blog. :)

As for "This is a terrific deal" - look at the competition, this price point is excellent. Thus being, a terrific deal. Not to mention the controls themselves, and the ease of use.

No ScriptManager.
No 6000+ lines of JavaScript being sent to the browser.
Just "drag and drop" a control onto your page (in code, design view, whatever), set the parameters.. do your codebehind for functionality, and you're set. I don't think that it gets much easier than that.
