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.
I just dont get the superfluous thing.
That is true - Prototype is harder. There are some great apps out there that use Prototype, but it is also used in a lot of superfluous ways, applications that just use it for the sake of using it, especially in Rails apps. jQuery tends to be used where it's actually needed, I haven't seen an application yet that didn't really seem to be used where it actually helps workflow and UI.
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.
This I agree with this. A lot of the official plugins I consider a core part of the jQuery toolbox. If you don't need them, the great thing is your not forced to use them - but they are there to help developers create an excellent UI and workflow experience. -- Tane Piper http://digitalspaghetti.tooum.net This email is: [ ] blogable [ x ] ask first [ ] private
