I've used the selectors, event handling, short cuts/handlers, animations, plugins etc. Nothing too fancy, but in general, a descent exposure. I'd like to compare it with Mootools. And while I do rock a Mootools skin on my phone, I'm going to try and remain as objective as subjectively possible. I'm going to try and stay positive about the differences and give use-cases for using either.
