Mochikit is an excellent framework. I like it a lot. But... While it solves a lot of low-level problems, it doesn't provide any facilities for widgets. Dojo solves widget packaging. I think that Django/Ajax should use a high-level foundation: widgets, shared client/server objects, and so on. Probably templates should be involved as well, e.g., some specialized template tags, which define Ajax components.
