Re: [Fofredux-devel] prototype vs. jQuery

[Evan R. <eva...@gm...>]

yeah yui is great.  i've been playing with it the last 2 weeks, and it
just makes me more excited every day.  hah! and my boss keeps telling
me he wants a weak/simple UI, since they always cost too much to
develop.

if browser support is a concern, look at this:
http://yuiblog.com/blog/2006/08/18/browser-support-update-2006q3/ and
http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/articles/gbs/gbs_browser-chart.html
those yahoo guys are pretty serious.

i think if we were to follow similar lines, we'd be way overdoing it.
we should keep in mind that the avg fofr user is probably a step up
from the avg y! user.  (meaning we don't need to worry about IE5.5,
but might want to think about linux support or even <cough> mobile
browsers)
