i agree there is value in developers sharing the same architecture and conventions, but that's a general truth.. don't need Dojo for that.

I just started using Dojo - hate it..

but in general, i'm beginning to despise monolithic "do everything" toolkits/frameworks like Rails, Meteor and Dojo - the level of "vendor lock-in" is hellish..

just stick to plain old HTML5, OO Javascript and simple, specialised libraries which can be mixed in as and where required.. make the libraries depend on your code, not the other way around.
