I also took a look at DomAPI a couple of weeks back, it certainly has a lot of bells and whistles, and seems to be more actively supported...
But what brings me back to DynAPI is the fact that DomAPI doesn't at all attempt to solve the issue of compatibility with older browsers (like NS4). As was said in this list before, DynAPI is the way to go if you want cross-browser compatibility. However, as I've played around with DynAPI I've found that it also has some serious compatibility problems, and I haven't had the time to try and debug. I basically built a site which has fields that are draggable and you can save the x,y coordinates to a file, so every time you come to the page it restores your last state. However, that doesn't at all work with NS4. In NS4 the page comes up blank, does not report any JS errors, so I have a very hard time trying to understand what's broken. I'd say that for the future, DomAPI may very well be the best choice, not to take away any merit from DynAPI, though... it is very useful and many people use it successfully. I just haven't been impressed with the claim of cross-browser compatibility.
