Hi all, In our experience, it would be worth removing noConflict, but we need Django to have a recent jQuery release, it's wasn't always the case but now it's good. I don't know who relies on that except grappeli, but they would probably be happy to get rid of their double jquery loading because that's been the source of many user issues, at least in DAL's repo.
Another library that would be worth proposing is jquery-autocomplete-light (disclamer: I'm the author), particularely because it is built to let the server render the suggestions box, and because it's pretty light by essence (does nothing on selection but trigger an event, it's up to the developer to implement the callback). But I should do some crowdfunding or something to cover it with JS unit tests, currently it's abandoned except by most django-autocomplete-light < 3.0 users, some v3 users are using it already even thought it's not been officially released / supported, because I was maintaining it with selenium tests and that was too much of a pain of course to have no unit tests. If you need generic form widgets, I think we've got ok ones in django-autocomplete-light v3. Again what's missing for developer experience is just the ability to override the default form, without having to subclass the world just to pass it: when you need an autocomplete on a field, you most likely need it everywhere, ie. because the select would load too many options to be usable. We'd be very happy to see noConflict removed, and try to all rely on the latest jQuery, rather than all try to load our own and deal with different variables names for jQuery. Perhaps I should try this in a fork, even if that means DAL will require extra steps for users not on that specific Django fork, at least we'd figure out if removing noConflict had unseen drawbacks.
