Rails - Mar 2011 - Javascript & Rails future

Hi,

David H.H. announced recently that jquery is going to be the default in Rails
3.1, and that Prototype helpers / RJS are going into a gem.

What does that mean for the future? Should we progressively forget about things
like javascript helpers, RJS, and all these fun parts of rails? And start coding
with jquery/json in mind?

I''m not against that at all, but I have to admit I find RJS really fun
to use...

I found rjs fun to use at first, but I think it becomes a bit of a
crutch eventually. As far as the helpers go, while convenient they
encourage a nasty way of doing javascript.
