MooTools Is Cool
While on the subject of Object-Oriented Javascript tools and taking a look at jQuery in the previous post Not Too Impressed With jQuery I also looked into MooTools.
MooTools seems to be a lot more useful than jQuery, now I do realize that I did not go too deep into researching either one yet and that they might not have been created to perform similar functions but just from browsing around their websites and looking at demos and reading through some of the documentation, MooTools by far do a better job explaining what it is they’re there for.
The demo section on MooTools has excellent examples of things that can be done with it, jQuery’s demo page has some examples too but half of them don’t even work. The website’s CSS is broken, for IE7 anyway. Yes, I know it is not cool to use IE and I am suppose to use FireFox, and I try but sometimes I just forget and go to my old habits of using IE.
Having said this, I do realize that jQuery is a good tool if I learn how to use it and as Henrik Joreteg said in his comment on the previous jQuery post:
There’s a reason so many major web companies use it. Tons of plug-ins that add the funk. (Not Impressed With jQuery)
But just from my personal opinion and from the “first impression” I will be taking a look at MooTools before I will try jQuery.
