Rebecca, thank you for posting these. I'd categorize myself among the n00bs the OP refers to, and your reasoned articles were very beneficial. I hadn't considered Dojo in the past, but I'm planning a very client-heavy JavaScript application in the near future, and I'll definitely check it out.

I would look at MooTools, their approach to OO JS abstraction keeps your JS heavy web apps lean and mean!
