I don't get why Prototype is "fluffy"? It seems harder for me to do anything in prototype. I actually feel like its the opposite. jQuery is friendlier to designers and Prototype is geared to hard core types.
And on subject of Plugins... I don't know how "Tabs" is superfluous. I use interface once in a blue moon. I use tabs almost every time. For forms, Validation is almost REQUIRED (pun). The history plugin has no alternative. I just dont get the superfluous thing. Its really interesting to me how these libraries are perceived so differently by people with different needs.
