I like prototype because it makes somethings about Javascript less painful. It
provides some syntax-sugar stuff ( ie, $('some_div') is a shortcut for
document.getElementById('some_div') ) as well as providing things (ie,
bindAsEventListener() to use closures and 'this' without too much trouble). But
Prototype isn't the lightest solution. It also doesn't have the nice CPANy
ecosystem that we're used to in Perl. There exist other libraries based on
Prototype (Scriptaculous is the biggest one) but they aren't centralized and
sometimes hard to find.
Dojo is another popular alternative that seems to be more modular and have a
more centralized community.
But either way, if you're going to get into Ajax, don't be scared of Javascript.
Any wrappers that exist (like HTML::Prototype) are good starting points, but if
you're doing anything interesting they will quickly get in your way.
