So, I just got a new job in neat little Delaware town for some JS dev position. Near the end after I accepted the offer, they finally mentioned "Oh, most of our app is written in ExtJS 6.6. So study up on that because we'll be migrating all of that to React but also maintaining some of the ExtJS parts while transitioning."
Wasn't quite sure why ExtJS was left out of the job description let alone at no point in the interview was ExtJS mentioned. React was.
So, excited for my new job, I started researching ExtJS and what it's all about. The reviews do not look good. But, most of the reviews are from years ago. Is ExtJS 6.x good?
Just looking for some opinions here. I start in early April!

ExtJS is a quite powerful class library. It has it's own class and inheritance System, which you'll have to get familiar with. There are also Integrations for React and Angular.
there's so much functionality in the framework, you can Do almost anything by setting a simple config.
Since Sencha got acquired by Idera, Support quality seems to suck and there's a lot of doubt regarding the future. But for now I'd say, that it's a good Tool.
I remember that this library was open source ... now its commercial?
I think they don't mention it on the interview, because nobody wants to work with it...
And there's a senchatalk slack channel. You might Want to Look at that.
Hey, I am working on Extjs myself. How is your experience? So far my experience is not that good!
