I'd add ExtJS (http://www.sencha.com/products/js/) to that list. It's a got a very larget widget library, an active community and provides adapters to make it easy to work at the same time with other libraries. Plus, some of the new libraries Sencha (the company behind ExtJS) is coming up with to develop JavaScript apps on Touch devices look very promising.

Thanks for adding it to the list, I've always been stopped by the Windows-ish UI (as Google closure) but I read good feedbacks coming from it.

I also forgot GWT if you're coming from Java it could be a simple way to do some web development. I used it a bit at Seesmic and keep a good overall experience.

Of course GWT abstracts lot of things so you'll ended up by having a nice final product but not really understand the roots of html and javascript.
