I have an older T4 app that I'm going to upgrade to T5. It's not a
full RIA but nevertheless a fairly fancy, interactive web app with
drag & drop, ajax file uploads etc. The UI of the app was based on
Prototype and Dojo 0.4.3 which served me well at the time despite of
being a bit on the heavy side. I haven't really used JQuery in
production apps yet but I wouldn't mind switching but if I do, I don't
want to drag Prototype around with it. There are T5 integration libs
available both for a newer version of Dojo and for JQuery. It might be
marginally easier to adjust the existing Javascript for Dojo than
having to rewrite everything with JQuery but as said, I'm fine with
the cost. Performance always matters, so load times, execution
performance, ability to use CDN etc. all matter. I don't mind filing
an occasional issue, but I don't want to get sucked into seriously
having to debug and maintain another add-on library so I'd prefer
something relatively stable even if it didn't have all the latest
bells and whistles. Of ready-made components, only a good, skinnable,
customizable and extensible tab component is relevant to me. Now, why
would I choose JQuery over the other choices? I'd really love to hear
comments from people who've had experience of multiple Javascript
libraries and have made a switch to JQuery or perhaps gone the other
way.
