The main show stopper was that a lot of Prototype-based code will assume that the result of $() will be a DOM element. With jQuery's $(), you will usually get a jQuery object back (so you can do all that cool method chaining). Unfortunately, the methods and attributes of a jQuery object are not the same as the methods and attributes of a DOM element object, so you're screwed.
This was my experience pre-1.0, but I can't imagine the situation being very different now. I don't want to have to make this conclusion, but it seems like Prototype and jQuery are fundamentally incompatible, because they both want $().

Now, it's quite possible that I'm doing something really stupid or overlooking something obvious. If that's the case, I hope someone can clue me in.

Does this work in the current 1.01 release?
I can't seem to get it to function right. It did seem to be okay with the old release.
I asked this same question a day or two ago and got no reply. I think it probably got lost in the confusion of the new release.
It is really limiting my implementation right now. I am hoping to figure this out in the next day or so.
Is this working for anyone now?
