We officially support IE7 and IE8 in Aloha. I say officially, because, although it does seem to work, it doesn't work very well (at all). IE does some weird stuff with the DOM, especially inside a contenteditable (certain combinations of DOM elements completely mess up the structure if it's inside a contenteditable, but not if it's outside).

I among others will work on the dev-jqueryui branch in June. I hope we will manage to stabilize it and merge it to dev in this time.

It should be noted that we plan to make the ui an optional part of Aloha (with default being a jqueryui implementation) to make it easier to integrate into existing systems. The heavy extjs dependency is part of why Aloha is so huge.

I also plan to look into using google closure compiler in ADVANCED_OPTIMIZATION mode to shrink the size to the absolute minimum.
