Yes, jQuery, Yahoo's YUI and Mootools are all nice libraries. However,
since Tapestry and Struts 2 bake in Dojo by default, it makes it a
little difficult to not include it. Maybe we should just make it
easier to include a different Ajax framework than Scriptaculous?
Right now, we only use it for highlighting and setting form focus -
maybe we should move those into global.js (which I've thought of
renaming, suggestions welcome) and make them independent of any
framework. Or we could continue our abstractions on top extractions
and use Ext JS or jMaki - I believe both libraries allow you to use
other libraries underneath.

The good news is we don't plan on Ajaxifying pages by default until
AppFuse 2.2, so we have some time to make these decisions. For those
of you who have experience with any of these libraries, now is the
time to speak up. Personally, I still like Scriptaculous and
Prototype, but I haven't worked as much with the others.

Have you considered using jQuery? It seems to be a little more
lightweight than prototype and scriptaculous and definitely supports
progressive enhancement.
I'm currently in the process of replacing prototype etc in my AppFuse
projects just because I love the tablesorter plug-in. There's a jQuery
plug-in called Interface that so far replaces all of what scripatulous
does in a 1.9.4 app.
