I don't believe there's any argument that can be made that would put
jQuery as superior to Mootools. I believe Aaron Newton put it best
when he said "Anything you can do with jQuery can be done in
Mootools. You can not do everything you can do with Mootools, in
jQuery."
Even Mr.jQuery himself has acknowledged the shortcomings of jQuery in
that he's started initial development on an expendable class
structure, which will not be a part of jQuery, but rather an
extension, much like sizzle was.
I'm Biased.
