I took a very informal poll on CF-Talk to see what Ajax frameworks were being used in the ColdFusion community. The results were interesting but not too surprising. Some were sticking to the CF-based frameworks such as AjaxCFC, CFAjax and the new MXAjax while others were really behind Spry. JQuery also received some kudos so its interesting to see how people are moving in different directions. 

I&apos;d certainly like to understand the rationale behind their choices as I&apos;m sure would everyone else looking at Ajax frameworks. Essentally, why&apos;d you go with AjaxCFC vs. JQuery vs. JSMX etc....

Here&apos;s the list of Ajax frameworks that came out of that thread:
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.lalabird.com/" target="_blank">JSMX</a>

<li><a href="http://www.robgonda.com/blog/projects/ajaxcfc/" target="_blank">AjaxCFC</a>
<li><a href="http://www.indiankey.com/cfajax/" target="_blank">CFAjax</a>

<li><a href="http://www.indiankey.com/mxajax/" target="_blank">MXAjaX</a>
<li><a href="http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/" target="_blank">Spry</a>

<li><a href="http://www.dojotoolkit.org/" target="_blank">Dojo</a>
<li><a href="http://www.backbase.com/" target="_blank">Backbase</a>

<li><a href="http://www.jquery.com/" target="_blank">JQuery</a>
<li><a href="http://www.ajaxtoolbox.com/" target="_blank">AjaxToolbox</a>

<li><a href="http://prototype.conio.net/" target="_blank">Prototype</a>/
<a href="http://script.aculo.us/" target="_blank">script.aculo.us</a>

</ul>

I&apos;m leaning towards Dojo or JQuery. Dojo is a monster though and JQuery has an easier learning curve plus a great plug-in feature.

Any thoughts?
