Why the future of Sencha's Ext JS is looking a lot less promising IMHO now than 5 years ago (from a geospatial developer perspective):

* the default look and feel of Ext JS is starting to become an issue (people seem fed up with the desktop like look and feel)
* do you still meet (geospatial) (core) developers enthusiastic about the technology?
* the migration from version 3 to 4 is a PITA and might not even happen for some libraries, which will give people the choice of moving on to a different technology (at the same or even less cost) [1]
* no single solution that works well on both mobile and desktop

[1] Please note that I currently have no clue what the new framework / technology is that people will migrate to most, or based on which frameworks new libraries will be created.

Also, as a developer, I have invested a lot of time and energy in this technology, so for me this is a bad thing in a way.
