title: shall I move from prototype to jquery?
body: <p>Lastly I've been feeling like <a href="http://jquery.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">jQuery</a> is slowly becoming the defacto standard in JS libraries (I might be wrong!), or at least that is more active than the rest of the frameworks.</p>
  
  <p>For example, I've been looking for a fine open source calendar like Componente and found <a href="http://fullcalendar.vinsol.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://fullcalendar.vinsol.com/</a> which is based on jQuery.</p>
  
  <p>We've been using Prototype for very little things, like its selector capabilities (<code>$</code> function as a shortcut for <code>document.getElementById</code>, mainly), executing some piece of JS when the page is loaded and to issue some very simple Ajax calls.</p>
  
  <p>So I guess the migration should be quite straight forward, but I'd like to know the pros / cons of migrating from Prototype to jQuery.</p>
  
  <p>On the other hand, I guess that having both of them together is not a good choice, specially taking into account that the migration should be quite simple. Am I right?</p>
