RightJS javascript library in daily use

Viewed 1586

Wondering if anyone here can offer any insight into the ups/downs of using the RightJS library, specifically as compared to jQuery, and generally compared to what you think a library ought to offer.

I'm not so much looking for a feature to feature comparison, but rather a sense of the general daily use.

Things like:

  • Does it feel natural to use, or does it feel like an uphill battle?
  • Does the API express itself in a comprehensible manner, or do you find yourself wondering what the code you wrote 3 weeks ago means?
  • Do you find yourself wishing it had some feature of jQuery (or some feature in general), or inversely, do you enjoy some particular feature that other libraries don't have?
  • General philosophical considerations that you think make RightJS superior/inferior.

Not things like:

  • Mindshare/marketshare/plugins/CDN/ considerations (the winner is obvious)
  • Why would you bother... (moot)
  • jQuery does x, y and z, and RightJS doesn't, without offering insight into how it impacts daily use (there could be philosophical reasons that make x, y and z unnecessary)
