First you must define "GEM framework" ;-)

Don't know this one.

Not this either.

Depends on what you mean by "GEM framework". But working with WinDom is
quite different from working with GEM, which again means that your code
is pretty much tied to one specific library.

Personally I like the way CFlib does things, the
"form_do-in-a-window"-approach is simple to understand and use. I wrote
my own library based on the same concept, and also stole some ideas from
Windom (like binding data and functions/callbacks to each object) while
still being quite compact. So to conclude - the best GEM framework is
the one you've made yourself ;-)
