Several years ago I worked on the redesign for the access request tools (ART in jQueryUI, and the backend system using ExtJS), it was a lot of fun, my understanding is ExtJS and YUI share some heritage. That said, I'm not really a fan of the likes of ext, yui or dojo... they're a bit bulky and unwieldy.

Today, I've been working more on Bootstrap, React, Flux, Webpack and a few other bits... It's getting nicer all the time. I'm really appreciating JS front to back over other systems (.Net, Java) in terms of actually getting stuff done. Higher testing is pretty much required for a larger JS system, but modularity, npm, git etc go a long way.
