Apple switches the web technologies they use every few months, so while it’s cool to see them using “X” tool, you’re likely to see something completely different in a short period of time.

derek,

that is right but still they would not use it if its bad or not performant. Also the link i provided does impressive things 😊

Right, I’m just saying that it’s not a great yardstick for saying that something is “the best” or that other tools aren’t as good.  mootools, like the other libraries they have used in the past, won’t suddenly be “bad” in a few months when they kick it to the curb for something else.

Yeah, one more for jQuery.

Adobe Spry uses way too much obtrusive inline scripting, especially used with Dreamweaver. Adobe is really catching up to how web sites were built six years ago.

I recently set up a site in DW for a client. I had never really used DW. It’s incredible to me that ‘traditional designers’ spend all their time and effort in learning the intricacies and complexities of Dreamweaver, when it’s so much simpler to learn markup. To me, having to search through twenty different palettes with ten buttons on each one just to place an unordered list on a page is much more daunting a task than looking up a reference, then typing <ul><li>item</li></ul>.

Oh well, anyway…yeah, go with jQuery.
