That's exactly the reason why I don't understand jQuery hasn't been made available as a plugin. There are already plugins dependent on other plugins. The logic for incorporating jQuery in the core code rather than as a plugin is: 1) To allow the core code itself to use jQuery 2) To simplify

Thanks for detailing your thoughts after a thorough digestion. And good to to let your passion for TiddlyWiki be seen. I can understand your aversion to different non-compatible versions of TiddlyWiki in the past, and do see the great advantage of the plugin system. No question about that.
