Kevin Pang on 5 reasons why you should use ASP.NET MVC

I agree with most of your arguments, but #5 seems the weakest to me. Downloading jQuery doesn't take much effort. Or you could just use the Google AJAX Libraries to include jQuery in your project. Either way, the fact that jQuery is baked into a standard ASP.NET MVC project isn't much of an advantage unless you have absolutely no idea what jQuery is.
