For my Stats It project I’m using KendoUI as my UI widget layer (and charting) as it has several more UI widgets that I’m looking for than jQuery UI offers. But there’s one thing I hate having to do, and that’s constantly write code like this: $('.datePicker').kendoDatePicker(); This goes for all libraries I’ve used, you’re constantly having to bootstrap the UI widgets so that they appear. Now there’s a good reason for this, so you can pass in options, etc to setup your controls for their actual use, but I find that you end up with a lot of boilerplate code around that is doing the same thing each time and when trying to be DRY this is annoying.
