You might actually want to spend some time looking into useing node/babel to transpile ES6/7 syntax JS into ES5.. this will give you a leg up in writing inherited classes with JS... alternatively there is TypeScript, which you may also like and be more productive with.
That said, I think that ExtJS's UI is starting to look a little long in the tooth, but it's still usable. I really never liked it... class based hierarchies in JS always seemed like a waste to me.
That said, if that's your path, there are still some newer tools (namely node+babeljs) that can greatly improve your development experience... I think the module and class syntax from es6 would be a boon for you, along with being able to use es7 async/await combined with a fetch shim...
