Thank you Ben that is a very good thread.
Seems the major reasons why people pick jQuery as there framework over Mootools, and others, has to do with the super documentation, the community, support, the large number of plugins and of course a whole bunch of technical reasons about its prowess as a tool. I was looking for a kind of comparison chart/review of all the popular frameworks, would that not be a great thing to have? Reason I asked about Mootools is I love there slideshow. It allows doing the Ken Burns effects that was mentioned Nicolas last week. Check out this wicked class demo: http://www.electricprism.com/aeron/slideshow/ The things that it does that are lacking in jQuery are pan and a real image zoom (from the center). If you watch his documentaries you will see it fades in a small part of an image, then zooms out and pans at the same time. Hmmmm I wonder if that could be done using some of the Interface Elements effects?
