Jquery should be default in Joomla.

Just look at the trends: http://www.google.com/trends?q=jquery,+mootools

I think developers have a strong hand in this too. I started implementing JQuery also in my components as it is more powerfull then Mootools. Maybe this should become a core functionality.

Don`t agree on that and also you can not compete these two, because they overlap in the functionality but do not the same things. There is a nice article from Aaron Newton you may want to read if not already done. http://jqueryvsmootools.com/

I think the devs don`t do this. http://groups.google.com/group/joomla-d ... da180f48a5
there is a post from Andrew Eddie starting with
Let me say something. Joomla is not going to change it's core
javascript framework. However, we do make every effort to use it in
such a way as to play nice with the other frameworks/libraries in so
much as they do it in return.
but maybe at some time in the future we see Joomla shipped with jquery

Maybe there could be some plugin bundled with Joomla! which would just load some of the most used Javascript libraries on the front-end.

"Jquery", "Mootools", ... (Prototype ?).

In the past I created a plugin which loaded jquery and disabled mootools in the frontend so I didn't have to include jquery in every single component I wrote. But I would definitely prefer a built in feature to load jquery (in the nonconflict mode of course).
It would be a huge disapointment if this feature wouldn't be available in at least the j3.0 version.
