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
