The Gartner RIA Report
in 2010 rated 22 Ajax technologies and RIA Frameworks. They define the
Ajax/RIA market as "a set of technology offerings oriented to meeting
the needs of application development teams to build systems that deliver

So here is a more comprehensive list of RIA frameworks and Ajax technologies. But instead of rating them by market scope, I rated them on:

So here is a more comprehensive list of RIA frameworks and Ajax technologies. But instead of rating them by market scope, I rated them on:
- Completeness of their UI control set, based on the list of essential controls
- Usability of the controls
- Aesthetics, based on the default visual design. Now, all of these frameworks/technologies are skinnable, or offer themes, but some are almost impossible to make look good.
