May 4, 2010 at 16:47 comment added TM. @Charlie Somerville: To me the jQuery docs are way better... For the record I was a big prototype fan before I ever heard about jQuery, and it took only about 2 weeks before I was a convert. jQuery is, in my opinion, better in just about every way when it comes to writing webapps. I also currently develop on WebOS, which uses prototype, so I still use both frameworks a lot. Prototype has some nice features that jQuery doesn't, it's just that the core stuff that you use over and over is much more clumsy. That said, I don't think jQuery needs these advertisements :)
Apr 29, 2010 at 13:36 comment added Hogan @marharepa : They are both Courier new. The $() is bold and I believe the comment was set to not do Kerning -- but I'm not sure. It was a while ago. Also, I used an online "banner maker" and who knows exactly what they were doing. (No, I don't remember which one.)

Mar 20, 2010 at 9:39 comment added anonymous coward @Austin Kelley Way: I believe that you just can't go past the excellent documentation of Prototype. jQuery's pales in comparison
Mar 10, 2010 at 15:56 comment added Dzung Nguyen jQuery make scripting more effective than ever :)
Feb 21, 2010 at 22:21 comment added Catharsis @Charlie Somerville: Do you have any reasons for that statement?
Feb 3, 2010 at 7:31 comment added anonymous coward It saddens me that jQuery won the framework wars. I believe Prototype is far superior to jQuery.
Feb 1, 2010 at 15:49 comment added orokusaki @Charlie Agreed!
Feb 1, 2010 at 15:48 comment added orokusaki @Chris Making espresso is a lot of fun. I'd do it for a living if it paid well. No joke.
Feb 1, 2010 at 15:47 comment added orokusaki @John Sheedan I agree. jQuery is the best, but everyone already knows. Things like Django and big projects like that are where we need support.
Jan 27, 2010 at 20:05 comment added Xeoncross Mootools didn't want to allow (read: put up with) new users in, and jQuery did. Done deal for people like me.
Jan 19, 2010 at 20:45 comment added user130648 @cruachan No, no, no, no, no it's a done deal. jQuery's won by a long shot. When Microsoft tells you that they want to include your open source Javascript framework with the next release of their IDE, it's a done deal buddy. Please believe.
Jan 11, 2010 at 19:15 comment added user132053 jQuery is pretty neat, but it does bother me that it's been promoted like it's a done deal it won the JS framework wars - which is far from the case.
Jan 10, 2010 at 19:40 comment added Hogan @Charlie: It can be for Prototype too -- I'm easy.
Jan 9, 2010 at 13:32 comment added anonymous coward When I first saw the ad, I thought it was about Prototype. $() isn't specific to jQuery, so you might want to mention jQuery somewhere in the ad.
Dec 30, 2009 at 12:38 comment added nailer Yaay, subshells!
Dec 24, 2009 at 4:31 comment added John Rudy @Chris: I see you're trying to make coffee for an ungrateful rich yuppie. You should totally drop that and try JQuery instead.

Dec 5, 2009 at 14:26 comment added Chris S I'm not sure making jQuery extensions is more fun than working (unless you're a Barista)
Dec 5, 2009 at 6:07 comment added Hogan Was that the point of this? I was was more about the humor.
Dec 5, 2009 at 5:38 comment added John Sheehan I love jQuery as much as the next guy, probably more (I'm wearing a jQuery t-shirt right now and I made a project based on jQuery that I've posted in this thread). That said, do they really need the promotion?? Those guys are doing fine.
