Prototype vs. jQuery vs. Mootools

Which from all three would be the best umm, framework? You could say. I use Prototype personally, I tried some jQuery, but I found Prototype a bit easier, Mootools, well I haven't tried it yet.

At my work, DreamCreek, we use Mootools. Haven't gotten into it that much because of school, but I haven't tried out jQuery or Prototype.

Mootools, seem to be very popular, I'll check it out today! :]

I use jQuery all the time, but have worked with Mootools, Prototype and a whole host of other framework. Somehow I always fall back on the simplicity that is jQuery.

I'm a jQuery advocate, to me, it just feels right, the other frameworks feel too verbose to me.

I recommend Prototype simply because it's the only one I've worked with for some time now (about 3 or 4 months). MooTools it's pretty stuffed, while jQuery has a difficult syntax to remember. And yes, I have used jQuery to to some javascript & flash integration and it made my life a living hell. I think you should just use what fits you best.

I've used them all. I think Prototype is "easiest" to implement simple effects in. I use them all depending on what I am looking for an wanting to implement...

I like to use Mootools. jQuery is confusing and buggy. :-|

Jquery, because they got to me first and I haven't had a reason to change.

I've tried mootools and prototype but I prefer jQuery aswell.

Hello There.

I´ve tried:
1. Prototype with Scriptaculous
2. JQuery
3. Mootools

Some how i seem to prefer Prototype and JQuery at the moment perhaps because i´ve used them the moast.

And i like the easy way you can make effects the easy way with Prototype together with Scriptaculous.

Good luck!

I use mootools since their 0.83 version. I've been pretty happy with it.

Mootools. No need to tell why, it's just.. pure ownage. Ofcourse, it's based on user preferences..

jQuery, because I first tried it, and I like the amount of good plugins for it.

Jquery is great for doing a hell of a lot of simple Javascript with one line of code.

Prototype is great for Ruby.

They work together with a wonderful function:

Code:

jquery.noConflict()

From past experince I've only played with Moo, and I really enjoy mootools for my needs, it can solve rather large tasks and we use it at work for our new SSO system thats ajax based =)

I havn't tried jQuery, mainly because Mootools contain all I need as it looks now

mfolnovich · 07-10-2008, 05:02 PM

Mootools ... ;)
I tried jquery and prototype too, but I liked mootools most so I'm using it ... ;)

ETbyrne · 07-10-2008, 05:52 PM

I have been using jquery lately because I need it to use Mark it up! and it isn't too bad once you get used to it. It also helps that they have a lot more tutorials on the site now. I have also been using the cool Impromptu plugin for, well, prompts!
