I'm always surprised (though it happens fairly frequently) when I run into a UI toolkit with any kind of fixed-size item list view that doesn't recycle the child widgets and handle the actual item list as a sliding-window data provider.

Not to take anything away from any of the mentioned projects, but this pattern is not new or novel.



No, its not. Its even more relevant for Javascript, because creating a dom node is way more expensive, thsn just altering it.
