Both libraries are fairly easy to use, but their respective ways of selecting and performing actions are a bit different
it will really depend on how you view things when you code, for me, the chainability of jquery struck a chord
i would suggest doing something fairly simple in both, and see which feels better for you
everything from looking through tutorials, apis, etc, to accomplish the task should give you a good idea of what you are in for
the only thing i would tout for one over the other would be jquery’s community, which has been fantastic every step of the way in my experience
