I wholeheartedly agree, I was very disappointed from jQuery as soon as  
I started to work with it. For developing JS applications prototypejs  
is by far the better option.
But to be fair, that's not what jQuery was intended for. It's really  
about creating interfaces, effects and widgets, not complex  
applications. It's more like scriptaculous. And jQuery Mobile takes  
this to even higher limits. And in that regard, jqm is really awesome,  
and there is no equivalent for prototypejs in sight.
