I hate to risk starting a my-framework-is-better-than-your-framework
thread, but I'd really like to here people's opinions on / experiences
with the merits of prototype + lowpro over other frameworks such as
JQuery that seem to be gaining some mind-share.
We've been bundling lowpro with Hobo for a while and are intending to
move towards "lowpro style" for all the client-side behaviour that
comes with Hobo.
At the same time I've always got half an eye on JQuery, and have been
getting increasingly tempted to at least give that option a try.
One thing that occurs to me is that I'd miss the nice rubyisms that I
get with prototype (e.g. little things like String#gsub)
