Hi all, Still more frequently I get or see the question: "Should we use jQuery or Prototype"? There has been discussions about the future of prototype, is there enough development going on for prototype, an unofficial wiki has been created (thanks!) etc. etc. But nothing "BIG". jQuery has a huge community, a lot of "plugins" and to me it looks like all the trivial stuff is equally easy to do with both libraries. Some argue that prototype is better when it comes to "dealing with things not directly related to the DOM" - but I cant find any "hard evidence" helping me decide whether to use prototype or jquery. There are, however lots of "soft" arguments that people throw at me to convince me to switch to jQuery:
1) Larger community 2) Better website 3) More plugins 4) "Supported by microsoft" (they will now distribute an intellisense-enabled version of jQuery - but not add a single line of code, right?) - as a consequence of 4): 5) "This will be the future direction as prototype offers no noteable extra functionality that you cant do with jQuery" - as a consequence of 4) and 5) 6) prototype has "lost", wont get new followers - we will all be assimilated... This might not be the most un-biased list to ask (heh... :o) ) - but: *What is - in your opinion - the main argument for using prototype in favour of jQuery?* - please, no "I like it better"-answers. Heck, even *I* like prototype better myself for some reason. And I've never really worked with jQuery. But I need arguments. Facts. Benchmarks. Comparisons. So, what say ya? /Jan --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prototype & script.aculo.us" group.
