I am not part of the Ext company, but this has me miffed!

I see t his advertisement in my email:
http://extjs.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=10933&stc=1&d=1229013021

Which led me to this site:
http://www.zkoss.org/

Check our their demos:

Anything look familiar???

go through the demos, holy crap.

I guess the reason i'm most miffed is the fact that they advertise against Ext, but yet copy many behaviors from it.

Its garbage compared to ExtJs...

I guess Ext was flattering Windows Vista when they designed the UI eh?
