 Replying to [comment:14 scribu]:

 "programming", using low quality snippets anyway.

 It's not encouragement; it would just be acknowledging the reality of
 common practice.

 Besides, ''really'' bad practice is using more than one multipurpose
 library on the same site, such as both Prototype and jQuery, or MooTools
 and jQuery.  noConflict encourages that.

 > All jQuery plugins that I've came accross expect a "no conflict"
 environment.

 That's not quite the whole story.  Just as an example I picked the first
 jQuery plugin ordered by [http://plugins.jquery.com/most-popular most
 popular first] that I could find with documentation (the second-most).

 Example use from [https://github.com/arnklint/simple-jquery-tooltip-plugin
 its docs]:
 {{{
 <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
   jQuery(document).ready(function(){
     $('#my-link, p span').simpleTooltip({
       title: 'me is a tooltip'
     });
   });
 </script>
 }}}

 The plugin itself does not assume $, but the example given does.
