[jQuery] jQuery, MooTools, and Prototype - A Comparison


After a badly needed pause of some length, my need for sophisticated
JavaScript has reemerged. During my departure I have discovered two
other similar JavaScript modules called MooTools and Prototype. With
my reemergence I have also realized that all of these require a
certain amount of commitment that goes beyond what I initially
anticipated. What I would like from you all is a convincing argument
to remain that is based on the following comparison:
1) What are the principal advantages of jQuery over Prototype and
MooTools?
2) What are the principal disadvantages of jQuery when compared with
Protoype and MooTools?
