I've not heard of Zepto. Out of curiosity, why use it over jQuery?

When using Phonegap (and mobile web in general), I've experienced a pretty major delay between page load and jQuery running. Zepto seems to run instantly. YMMV.

Probably the file size argument, last time I read one of these discussions jQuery was 3x bigger gzipped at ~30kb.

Ok, that makes sense, especially for mobile development.

I looked it up, and it seems to be missing quite a bit, including the .noConflict() option, which I seem to have to use quite a bit when working on others' code....
