Hi Iuri
That I know, some discussion about javascript libraries happens every once and then in this forum. Just some I recall participating in the past (not necessarily for the good 😊 )

OpenACS uses and has used in the past different javascript resources (e.g. extJS, YUI, xinha, bootstrap, ckeditor, tinyMCE... probably some missing). Some issue about embracing whatever js library is that is an extra dependency one has to maintain. It is not always easy to spot whether some currently very popular js thingy will be dropped in the next months or not (e.g. xinha), or how reactive one should be prepared to be with respect to new versions of the library (e.g. extJS).
This is why I think that as a platform we should limit dependencies to external javascripts to a minimum. The end user of course has different drivers and discussing about how to integrate e.g. AngularJS in openacs applications could be very useful and interesting.
Ciao
