[TYPO3] TYPO3 and JS/AJAX Frameworks

Hi,

As I said, I just wouldnt have released those exts if mootools wouldn't 
be "allowed".
And yeah maybe (or probably) it is just because I don't have the time to 
  learn another library

> I enjoy your exts! My post was just a thing to discuss about, not to offend!

I know but I just wanted to show you another side

> So how would you prevent the incompatibility of different exts?

You can't but so what? What do you do if an extension doesn't fit your 
needs because you need something different or whatever? You don't use it 
or you rewrite it! You are always free to add a jquery version of my 
mootools extensions and I will add the js for sure!

Those 30kb or whatever really don't matter!

You wanna compare screws to libraries? ;)
I even switched completly to magento instead of TYPO3 because it fits 
better (for me).

It makes sense for the Backend and here it so also just 1 framework! 
Again: it would be idiotic (for me) to be allowed to just use 1 library 
in the FE!
