A mix of both actually, it would be great if I could just replace
Prototype/scriptaculous with jquery/interface and I wouldn't have to
replace my Rails helpers with Javascript code (I prefer to use Rails
helpers for the simple stuff and resort to custom JS code if the Rails
helpers are not sufficient). The Rails helpers are really great for
the day-to-day stuff, but they don't encompass the complete
functionality of Proto/script.

What do you have in mind when you say "make it easier to link up
existing jQuery code into Rails"?

> 4) If you've used jQuery with Rails, what issues have you run into

I did some preliminary tests with jQuery for the last application I
developed combined with Dan Webb's MinusMOR
(http://www.danwebb.net/2006/11/24/minusmor-released), but in the end
the lack of Rails helpers and some really weird behavior when
injecting the page with remote JS (didn't have the time to determine
whether MinusMOR or jQuery was the culprit), I switched back to
proto/script. I really would like to switch to jQuery for all new
projects, but I really need the integration proto/script currently
offers.
