Here's an interesting conclusion from this article - http://
www.informit.com/guides/content.asp?g=webdesign&seqNum=281&rl=1:
Conclusion
All three scripts have their pros and cons that make them compete
quite directly with each other. In the end, what script is best for
you truly depends on your needs and preferences. If you’re looking
for a massive feature set, go with Dojo. If you’re looking for
optimizing your JavaScript writing techniques and cutting down on
development time, try out Prototype. And lastly, if you want to have
the best of both worlds and aren’t afraid to write a decent amount of
functionality yourself, jQuery is worth a look.
Cheers,
Tim
