Some random, non-code reasons: - jQuery has significantly wider adoption and user base. http://www.google.com/trends?q=jquery%2C+yahoo+ui - jQuery has a significantly more active community. YUI had 1559 list posts last month, jQuery had 4343 - We have books (2 out now, 1 more in the works) - Yahoo UI doesn't accept patches or code contributions - it's a one-way street. - They don't make guarantees of backwards compatibility with API changes
