It's almost the hallmark of MochiKit, that it _doesn't_ pollute the
global namespace, like a lot of other libraries do. The problem in
mocking around with core prototypes, is that you can break code that
would otherwise work. Of course, you can't run Mochikit together with
Prototype today either, but that's the fault of Prototype and not of
Mochikit.

Besides that, what's the benefit of writing thing the other way around
anyway? Mochikit uses a function-oriented syntax, while jQuery use an
object-oriented syntax. I find that this helps me to think
function-oriented, rather than object-oriented, and generally I think
that's a good thing.
