jQuery
I have had experience with a few different libraries. Not all, obviously, but some.
- Scriptaculous was my first, and I fell in love. While it’s no longer my preference it will always have a place in my heart. Alas, I found it to be less robust then I needed and had to break off the relationship.
- Dojo I played with but found it to be a little too broken for different browsers. While it may have gotten better, I feel that if the demos of a library are broken then it doesn’t really inspire confidence.
- MooTools is supposed to be good and stable, but I had a hard time finding any useful effects, which are important to me in a Library.
- I would be interested in trying Ext JS sometime, as they have quite an impressive collection of widgets, but I have been resistant to put time into something with such an iffy license.
So this is the reasoning, along with positive experiences, that I have chosen jQuery as my library of choice. Bear in mind I don’t often check the current state of any of these libraries and they may have changed for the better since I last looked into them. Feel free to comment and let me know if you’ve had conflicting or supporting experiences with any of these.

Hey, you’re blogging again!
I still think you should turn your jordan-martin.com site into a portfolio to show off your work, though. 
Perhaps I could help you with a design? ;D
Of all these libraries, I’ve only played around with Jquery and Mootools. I like Mootools, but as you’ve said, it’s not as spiffy as jquery.

Yeah, I’m tryin’ to blog again. You’re right about the portfolio, I’ve been meaning to add it for awhile now. Maybe I’ll start it up today to show my more impressive projects.
I would love to have a new design for my site, but I believe I still owe you for the last time (2 times?). When are you gonna need my programming help so I don’t owe you so much?

Hahah, don’t worry about it. I don’t mind doing stuff for friends. Just let me know when. ^______^
