Ext produces absolutely insane html. I did a simple test with it a while
ago and creating a simple table produces a DOM with 14 nested divs. It
is all geared towards trying to build a full windowing system in your
webpages, which is something you never need. 

Designed would kill me on site if I ask them to style the result of Ext.

YUI has the advantage of being extremely well documented.
