The Prototype + Scriptaculous javascript framework is junk. It doesn't work very well, the syntax is terrible, it will break other javascript on the page just by being included, and the "cool effects" it includes aren't even very good. There is absolutely no reason to use Prototype.
It might be useful to provide some specifics in helping people decide which JS framework to use. What do you mean by "It doesn't work very well"? Is this a performance issue (does it take a long time to load), a cross-browser issue (do more browsers not work compared to other JS frameworks), a security issue, etc.? What do you mean by "the syntax is terrible"? Is this regarding $() (which is also used by jQuery) or something else? When you say "it will break other javascript on the page just by being included" what kind of JS will break? Prototype.js was updated a while back to solve a lot of this. Have you run into this with a recent version of prototype.js? Do the other libraries have better "cool effects"? Which ones do you think are better in other libraries? Just trying to get some clarification. -- John Wang http://www.dev411.com/blog/
