This is that api I propose. If it is agreed upon by core team then a
patch can easily be created.

It is a very good idea! I'm a beginner, and still have some problems
with setting up Rails with a workable database... so it won't be fun,
if a beginner has to pay attention also for choosing the better JS
library - while maybe he doesn't have any idea about Js at all!
Anyway: jQuery is much better
Prototype looks more like Ruby, but I like jQuery better.

It's tough to get people to switch, so I think you should have a
choice. Ship with both perhaps.
But I think the syntax and philosophy of jQuery is more similar to
Ruby than Protoype is similar to Ruby. I think it would be easier for
new people to pick up jQuery than Prototype,
I think that picking a single default that works for the majority,
while retaining the possibility of opting out is the way to go. Having
a command line switch that toggles different implementations may be
nice, but it also incurs a much bigger maintenance work, as the sheer
number of combinations

yes - it should be easy to select, but one has to differentiate between first
time users and heavy users.
first time users might not be able to choose between various types of orm,
jslib, testlib ... and so they will choose the default.
i think well thought defaults are important as they

Just to be clear, I don't think there's any doubt that jQuery has far more
users, both in the Rails space and in the general space. So I don't think
that determining that jQuery is used more by Rails 3 users will result in
changing the defaults.
I'd like to hear from other Rails core team members
I suppose once 3.0 is released and it's just as easy to use jQuery
with Rails as Prototype, it should be easy to determine which one
people are using more often and then make that the default for 3.1.
I'm also pretty convinced jQuery will come out far ahead.
