We need to build an admin section that will be easy to progressively enhance. Probably will start with one main area and add departments.
I like the thought of using ColdBox but I also like what Sencha is doing with EXTJS and the UI and application you can build. I also still like what I can do with Flex but I do not know how to break it up into pieces so we can easily add and maintain it.
Is anyone using ColdBox with more than jQuery UI — Sencha or Dojo?
How difficult is it to manage?
Thanks in advance for any insight.

I use ColdBox and Ext JS (4.2.0, primarily) almost exclusively for building admin sites. The two work beautifully together, especially if you leverage the RESTful support in both (e.g., routes in CB and Rest proxies in Ext JS), although it’s certainly not necessary.
I can’t share anything from work, but I have posted a sample Ext JS+ColdBox application on GitHub if you’re interested: https://github.com/existdissolve/CarTracker
If you will allow the shameless plug, I also have a blog series about building the Ext JS aspect of this application, starting with this post: http://existdissolve.com/category/javascript/ext/extjs-4-2-app-walkthrough/ . It’s focused on the Ext JS side of things, of course, but the code for ColdBox side is on GitHub.
Hope this helps, and let me know if you have any questions.
Good luck!
