Which JavaScript framework would be better to be used for Rails?

Question

I have been using jQuery for all my projects in PHP, Java etc. but now since I am starting up with Rails, I am bit confused about whether to stick with jQuery or use Prototype. Since Rails by default supports Prototype, is there any added advantage in using Prototype? Would it be fine if I use jQuery? Which JavaScript framework do you guys normally use?

Answer 1

Prototype came first but jQuery won the JavaScript framework wars. Rails 3 ships with jQuery by default, not Prototype. Use jQuery—it's pretty much the industry standard now.
