some articles on the subject of jquery vs mootools: * Why MooTools (or Why not JQuery) http://juliocapote.com/post/52467447/why-mootools-or-why-not-jquery * jQuery vs Mootools: your choice? And why? http://www.reddit.com/r/javascript/comments/7708y/ask_reddit_jquery_vs_mootools_your_choice_and_why/
