I froze my Prototype version just prior to the change to $().
Currently, I need stability and this is too much a change in the
fundamental workings of the library. The last thing I need are nasty
surprises, which there were and might still show up. Therefore, I pass
up on that. Additionally, what good are patches, when even the trivial
ones on Prototype just keep rotting in Trac? Does Sam even care?
Martin, I couldn't agree with you more. I quit submitting patches for
bugs and assisting others through dev.rubyonrails.org because there
was virtually NO response from the Prototype devs. For every patch
that's been committed, there are three others that are sitting with no
feedback. I've tried contacting Sam via his personal e-mail address
as well, to no avail.
Neglectful maintainers are worked around by forking (although I'm not
advocating such a position ... yet).
