Hello. I need help in taking call to choose between Ext JS and YUI libraries. Here are the key factors I have derived from my application requirements & development process:

Complex, windows forms like controls
Widgets, Layouts, Utilities
Inter widget communication
Easy to extend
Easy to learn
Intuitive & concise coding
Strong exception handling
Active support / community
To update with upcoming technologies (HTML5, etc.)
Skins & Themes to be easy to change
Skins & Themes to support variety (a text box for different context to appear differently)
Support & Utilities for standard protocols (XmlHttp, JSON)
Good performance (responsive)
Cost is not crucial, but I don't mind saving :)
