MooTools or JQuery?

I looked at both MooTools and JQuery, but ended up choosing Prototype. I prefer the syntax.
Check out The Bungee Book.

jQuery for powerfulness and MooTools for lightweightness.
Personally i use both.

I use jQuery because it is easy. I can whip out javascript projects extremely fast with it and I’m not even a real javascript programmer. Without jQuery I would be useless. (I wonder how much money I could have gotten from jQuery for this. I should be hired on as a spokesperson.)

@Overshard: Same situation; although Prototype turned out to be my crutch of choice.

@Overshard: Same situation; although MooTools turned out to be my crutch of choice.

I guess there isn’t a best answer. I just stuck with what I started with. And I suck at javascript.

So basically, itmustbeken, go with whatever you think is best because everyone has their own answer. :P

@Overshard…and we have a ‘Great Answer’! =)

As others have said, both are great and both have their strengths and weaknesses. In my opinion it comes down to personal preference. Ultimately I found jQuery to be a lot faster to learn, I thought the documentation was better and I seemed to be able find more tutorials and resources about jQuery. However, a good friend of mine would probably say the exact same thing about MooTools.

I think everyone’s moving toward jQuery now.

Apple use jQuery, so does Obama :)

jQuery hands down. i’m not even sure how the others can compete with it. Plugins, UIs and the theming is just great…

I use mootools, and I would suggest it quite a lot, but I’ve never used jQuery.

I’ve seen jQuery mentioned a lot, MooTools not so much. So you might be able to get better support and have more documentation available for jQuery, which could be a valid reason to go for that.

I haven’t used either though.

Don’t forget YUI, which also seem pretty well documented and gaining some great momentum in popularity right now.

Although, I’m going for jQuery mostly. Don’t ask me why :)

Used jQuery on my latest project. It’s pretty great.
