It's been around for quite a while and it has nothing to do with rails, nor will it ever get into rails. This plugin is a nice piece of work and is ideal for people who like to use jquery plugins without actually knowing how to do decent javascript programming imho. Jquery has always been about unobtrusive javascript and keeping inline javascript out and this plugin does exactly the opposite (just like the prototype/scriptaculous helpers do btw). Let me put this straight, I love both Prototype/Scriptaculous and JQuery, and I'd use either one depending on the project I'm working on and the requirements. I will choose the one that offers me "the path of least resistance". But all this "there can only be one" is just plain bullocks. Prototype/scriptaculous was an obvious choice to be bundled with Rails: it uses a ruby-like syntax. The only thing these plugins do, is provide you with options. There is no migration, there probably never will be one and 37signals couldn't care less, because they see Rails as a means of producing profitable web applications, and how right they are.
