I can tell you my experience, perhaps others have had a similar ones. I
tried jquery and found that I liked its ability to chain a lot. It toggles
more powerfully than prototype. I also like the fact that I only need one
reference for plenty of effects -- as many as I'll ever care about.Jquery
does have some really aggravating aspects. In a couple of instances I have
been able to find an element with plain old javascript that defied jquery
and I'm still figuring out how to manage its events.
Beyond a nice scrollbar, which is only a couple of hundred bytes, I haven't
explored JQuery's plugins, because I like to make my own stuff.
Additionally, because I plan to do freelance asp.net and javascript work
when I retire (soon), I decided that because JQuery is so much more
prevalent and because Microsoft is beginning to facilitate using it, that's
what I should spend time learning.

Sorry for the rant, but I came to Prototype by way of early exploration
with Rails. I found Prototype approachable and learn-able in a way that I
didn't (and don't) find jQuery to be.
I've invested years in learning Prototype and it has trained and patterned
my JavaScript brain. I'm quite cheesed about the notion of having to learn
another way to look at JavaScript.
At the same time, I can't help but notice the crickets around here
lately. When I joined this list (back in the rails-spinoff days) there were
dozens of posts per day, now we're lucky to get there in a week.
What the heck is going on here?
