I completely disagree, just because people don't use jrails, doesn't mean they're a prototype user. I generally bring in jQuery manually and delete all the prototype cruft from my projects, but I then write my own jQuery code to do specifically what I want, ignoring Rails helpers. You can't assume that 16% jRails = 16% jQuery - it would be true if that was the only way of using jQuery with Rails, but it so blatantly isn't.
