I may have been one of those people and... I'd like to modify my answer a bit :) I used JSMX quite a bit because, as you say, it is very lightweight and does a wonderful job of encapsulating the ugly (?) magic of the XMLHTTPRequest. But that was pre-jQuery. jQuery is really an amazing framework that handles the AJAX stuff just as easily as JSMX (IMO), but also gives you the ability to manipulate DOM elements easily. Awesome community, lots of great support (*very* high traffic mailing list, books, etc). Presumably, JSMX is working fine for you, and I wouldn't suggest going out and switching just to switch. But if you find yourself in a position where you need to do some client side manipulation, it might be an opportunity to see how jQuery can kill both of those birds with one very elegant stone. -- I have failed as much as I have succeeded. But I love my life. I love my wife.
