The ESRI developers who created the ArcGIS JavaScript API used Dojo to simplify their development process and to ensure that the applications you build behave the same in different browsers. For example, the map zoom and panning animations use Dojo, as does the graphics layer. Furthermore, the zoom level slider and info windows that you see in your JavaScript API maps are Dojo widgets (dijits). The slider dijit is provided with Dojo, and the info window is a custom dijit created by ESRI for the ArcGIS JavaScript API.
