jQuery vs. MooTools
May 19th, 2009As a front-end web developer most of the development I do is done in HTML, CSS and JavaScript. As the JavaScript widgets and applications that I build become increasingly more complex, the need for solid JavaScript framework becomes all that much more important. You certainly don’t need a JavaScript framework or library to build a rock solid application, however using one will make it much faster, painless, and enjoyable. For years I’ve been using the MooTools framework and before that the MooFX libraries to help build rich interactive JavaScript applications and interface widgets. I’ve used jQuery on occasion when I had to due to client requirements, but it’s always left me wanting more. While jQuery makes it dead easy to find and manipulate DOM elements and do some nice easy animations, it doesn’t do much beyond that. I’ve never really been able to articulate exactly why I prefer MooTools over jQuery, however Aaron Newton has done an excellent job with a very detailed and fair comparison of jQuery and Mootools at: jqueryvsmootools.com.
I personally hope the MooTools community grows to a size comparable to jQuery’s. We need a helpful, friendly, and loyal community to spread the word about MooTools and help other developers, at any skill level, understand not only MooTools better, but JavaScript itself.

Hi Chris,
I was researching my name and ran across your website, I find it funny that we have some of the same life experiences, I am an outdoor writer/photographer and web developer, along with being the Secretary/webmaster for KOPA (The Kentucky Outdoor Press Association)
anyway nice to meet ya.. My nick name is “Trimmer” it come from the fact that I also work for my wife part time as an interior restyler for autos, in todays world known more as some one that “pimps out a ride” but back in day were known as Trimmers..
anyway nice to meet you..

Hey dude, ran across your post. I just wrote one up recently on my blog and it got me researching some other opinions on the topic. Could write up. I touched on some of the same points and I think we’re on the same page. All the best sir.

ahaha, the fight was cruel…but instead of that i’m sure, that jQuery wins!
Hah,that was really funny.
Tasmanian aborigines had an even tougher time of it than Māori in New Zealand already Europeans came to stay. But it’s arresting to see parallels to the Ngāi Tahu acquaintance – intermarriage, and the adaptation of muttonbirding on adopted islands through abounding generations . Those adopted islands aswell drew sealers and whalers – abounding of whom formed in both Tasmanian and New Zealand waters . The captive acquaintance differentiated the two colonies. For convict-free New Zealand, freedom in 1854 was a adequately calmly acquired status testinside 640-863. However, for , the year the busline of convicts ended, was fundamental. Even the colony’s name was afflicted – from Van Diemen’s Land – as a way of burying the captive past . Through the after 19th century, the animal cartage went both ways. Tasmanian-born Gabriel Read, who fabricated the aboriginal important gold bang in Otago in 1861, in actuality spent a lot of of his activity on Tasmania, afar from four or so years in Otago.
