jQuery the future of web prettyness?

Back in the day there was the script dude that made magic making the the longest JavaScript ever and making a simple transition or animation coolness on a web page. Then there was mootools that was a library that changed the way some of us did the same task, but it wasn't as known.

Not that long ago a colluege said "Why dont' you use jQuery?" 
I was like "Hmm, what's that?" thinking there's something new out there that I don't know about!
"It's a new library, just like mootools, check it out" he said.

So I did and well to be honest I'm quite impressed with this. Check it out I might even throw in a small tutorial or two.

Yep, jQuery pwns :).

This is the best stuff you would use for your site which is lightweight and very very usable and broswer friendly.

Better choice over mootools.

Og: you should also take a look to the spry libraries. I think the prettyness of the web is the way that we improve user experience by using AJAX based technologies like Spry (http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/) and a combination of techniques on the client side, like JQuery, JavaScript, etc.
