When looking at Ext JS, I don’t get the feeling that it’s meant for the same things as jQuery and Mootools.
Whilst jQuery and Mootools help with the general workings of a site, Ext JS seems to be focussed on tables and storing data, plus manipulating it.
So, is this observation correct, or is Ext Js fit for the same work as jQuery and Mootools?
Comparing ExtJs and JQuery is like comparing apples and oranges. You can compare Ext Core to JQuery, and ExtJs to JQuery UI.
Ext Core and ExtJs are Open Source, with Core being under an MIT license and ExtJs falling under the GPL 3. Both are ultimately managed by Ext, LLC, including all changes to the libraries. Ext has a dedicated development team and support staff, and those utilizing the commercial license with a support contract have full support for help and issue resolution. Aside from that, the Ext control classes (and all other classes) are very comprehensive and consistent.
All of the libraries you mentioned have there pluses and minuses, but what I’ve already mentioned helps make ExtJs a compelling choice for me.
