Because our site is so dynamic, and the whole shopping cart does a lot of backend ajax calls, we were having some serious issues with prototype locking up browsers and causing lost sales. We started getting curious about jQuery a while ago but it wasn't until recently that we really looked into it and started playing with it and realized how stable it was as well as flexible with all of the plugins. The documentation was also a big help... prototype's documentation is a real horror show. But long story short, once we got our hands dirty, we realized how easy (relatively) it would be to rework our regular js code with the help of the jQuery API and reduce the overall size of our code and help improve the overall site speed too. Lots of good came from it.
