Scriptaculous VS. jQuery

    I am currently in development on a project and have came to an interesting part of the site where I want to utilize some outside JS libraries for effects ect...

    Question: What do y'all think about either using the Scriptaculous library or the jQuery library?

    Are there benefits to one over the other? Please do not be biased in your response, simple facts is all I need. Examples or stories of why you choose one over the other would be appreciated too.

    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks y'all. Yeah I started playing with it over the weekend (bored) and it is pretty dope to utilize. You can do a lot of sweet things with it. Thanks for the comments and direction.

    jQuery is inversely proportional to scriptaculous in terms of fast execution, popularity, features, etc. Just go for jQuery. I bet you'll love it once you get used to it. For tutorials you can go to w3schools. It is the best tutorial in the net for web programming tutorials. I love jQuery's fade and hide effects :)

    JQuery is quick and has a small footprint whereas prototype/scriptaculous is bloated and solely appropriate for quick web connections. Slow sites are bad in terms of SEO and in the views of the visitors!!!
