I've always used Prototype for Ajax and Scriptaculous for effects.
I've been working on an upgrade to my CMS I've developed which uses in-line editing in Lightboxes constructed using Scriptaculous (my own concoction). I've started to use other libraries to create these effects and it all works really nicely.
It seems however, everything is now based on jQuery. It seems silly to use two libraries which do similar things, I was just wondering if jQuery was 'better' or something? Had a little root about and just found lots of internet arguing about the question

jQuery has a much nicer way of accessing/traversing. I switched over about a year ago and haven't really looked back.

how comes you use Prototype? As JQuery and scriptaculous both do Ajax calls. JQuery is decent though, likewise Mootools is worth a shot although i've only looked at it.

Not really sure, it's just what I started with and I haven't had any problems writing things with it.
Scriptaculous doesn't do Ajax, it comes bundled with Prototype which handles the Ajax stuff...

Ah ok, that'd make sense. Always assumed Scriptaculous had it's own Ajax functions. To be honest, browsers tend to cache javascript files so it isn't a problem (unless you start changing the library/javascript files).

Google host my jQuery file so that ought to aid with caching, I don't think there is a similar thing available with Prototype, but I'm sure enough people use it. I don't think I'm crazy enough to start trying to mod the library files either
