I think that's a pretty broad generalization. I use jQuery exclusively and am also a pretty zealous Mac user. I'm also a designer and an Eclipse user :) Either way, I'm really appreciative of all the really interesting comments so far. I'm glad I wasn't missing something in the Prototype vs jQuery debate. To that point, I just recently finished an application I thought I'd share. It's basically an image annotation tool that allows the client to add large jpgs, zoom and pan them. They also can add markers to the image as annotations and move *those* around, and all the markers and comments are all updated via ajax. This was for a $200 billion company and was all done with jQuery, Interface and PHP.
