Hi Rey

>  1) Which library (or libraries) did you choose?

Mootools mainly, right now Im checking out all others, but have no
intention to switch, just extend mootools so far as I can....

>  2) What led you to use the library (libraries)?

I started with mootools since the days of Moo.FX + Prototype... Most
of my work is joomla based, and since moo is included there by
default... I got the best of both worlds there!!!

Besides this, I started my developer carreer using C++, and so, the
object oriented outlook is great for me...

>  3) How has it improved your work?

Very, Very much... I still cant compare to others besides the opinions
of other users respecting other frameworks. The way I can
unobtrusively modify/alter/extend xhtml is priceless...

Right after all xhtml/css coding is done (Im lying... from the start!!!!)

DOM altering, animation, XHR

I try to do so.

This mainly relates to the quality of the code generated by the
plugins. With the mootools core, I have no complaints. There are some
plugins around that do not do the best work, but can easily be
extended.

I dont get the grasp of this question... sorry (english is not my mother tongue)

100% [just keep it simple / keep it working!!!]

I try to follow the most I can the MVC pattern, letting the CSS
control the whole look'n'feel and using mootools to do the rest....

With mootools, taking into account the current documentation, its
source code (which unfortunately is not fully commented), the samples
and other peoples code...faaaaaaaaaaaaast!!!
