Dojo has already lost the battle.

I used it for awhile and it is a cool framework. However, Jquery has it beat in terms of documentation (code and usage) and community support (I can find pretty much any component I need with Jquery).

You should take another look at the link - its all about ROR and Sinatra, not Dojo Toolkit.
How does this invalidate my point?

The link title includes "Dojo" and I was stating my opinion. I see the Dojo fanbois have downvoted me.

The people who realize that this isn't Dojo, the JS framework, and is instead Dojo, the Ruby Deployment Tool... they're the ones who downvoted you.
well, it's not my fault.

It's the fault of the person that named a ruby development tool "Dojo" when it's clear there was already a javascript framework with the same name.

so..maybe they should be downvoting themselves? (like I have your responses)

I think that's the shittiest argument I've ever seen.

You didn't even open the link before just leaving a negative comment about it.

It takes a lot of work to write web apps, and when people say negative things about them, it hurts.

An equally compelling argument could be made that it is the fault of whomever didn't bother to read the article.
I would bet that you would have gotten a much different response if your comment indicated that you read the article at all, rather than constructing a post based entirely on your interpretation of the OP's (lame) title.
he doesn't mean Dojo as a framework
