Of course 16% has to be taken with some margins, but you can't deny it makes difficult to claim that the vast majority of Rails developers use jQuery exclusively, which was the claim in (1). That is a strong claim! (1 was originally stated as a feeling not a fact, that's fine). If the percent had been 84% then there would be no doubt about it, right? But < 20%... dubious. But it turns out the 84% seems to support that the vast majority are using Prototype, no matter which is our termometer. Hey, I am not saying people can't advocate jQuery because of a series of reasons. I am only raising a flag about this claim about the perceived user base. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.
