jQuery is used in some very high profile places, by countless people/ websites all over the world ... and yet the jQuery team takes the time to provide this kind of support. The really great thing is that this is not abnormal. With regards to jQuery (and the team/community), there is nothing special about what just happened.
The decision to adopt a framework/library/etc should never be based solely on a feature set (I've gotten into trouble making this kind of decision before). This thread is a great illustration of the other factors to take into consideration before making a decision. This is one of the reasons why it is so easy to choose jQuery when, in a project, the opportunity presents itself!!
