jQuery is probably aiming for smaller websites where all that's required is to spice some things up - zebra tables, sliding boxes, fading blocks, forms - so I guess it's all good... It's all about choosing the right tool for the job.

I have used jQuery on several "enterprise-level" Web sites and Web applications. It is what you make of it. The author does not provide proof for why Prototype is the right tool for the job, other than personal preference.

Speculation, incorrect as it turns out. I authored an enterprise level news search app, the UI for which was about 6000 lines of Javascript. JQuery was perfect for the job and will be my preferred candidate for any Javascript projects in future.

he's smart enough to say that he thinks jquery is only good for small websites, but he can't even turn directory indexing off on his own site.

So if I could just sum up...
"Here's what I don't like about jQuery: I don't understand its syntax because I only know Prototype."

I like jQuery more that Prototype but he makes a good point.
