Mootools

Ok.. I have no experience from either of those, so I have to take your word for it but from what I understood with a bit of googling is that MooTools is truly much better extensible than jQuery. jQuery’s biggest advantage though is that the syntax is very simple. You don’t have to write as complex code as you do with other libs. But the result from my googling session is that MooTools really looks the best fit for MODx. The basic idea in both MooTools and MODx is very similar.

EDIT: And I dream of the day that MODx has the same kind of download than MooTools has.. And what the little birds are saying, the wait might not be that long..

Doze, you’re probably right - however, jquery for instance has a much larger user community and tons of pre-build applications - jquery also plays nice with mootools and prototype - have a look at this http://ajaxian.com/archives/ext-10-for-jquery-appoaches and play with the scripts found here: http://www.yui-ext.com/deploy/ext-1.0-alpha2/docs/ - they all work with either jquery or yui - I believe this would reduce development time for the ui of modx considerably.

Joomla has a much larger user community and prebuilt tools too.

There is also now a namespaced version of mootools available if you look hard enough (like 2 minutes on the mootools forums).
