I probably should just bite my tongue and stay out of this rat hole, but c'mon. So jQuery wins because you'll have code completion in Visual Studio when developing your ASP.NET applications or creating a stocks widget for a phone??? If using jQuery makes you unhappy, then use whatever makes you happy. You aren't going to wake up some morning and find Prototype mysteriously missing. Prototype's roots are buried deep into Ruby and Ruby on Rails which is what I like most about it...it gives me a taste of the good life in my otherwise boring life as a Java programmer. And just like Rail's take on things I don't think Prototype should strive to be mainstream (or at least it shouldn't be it's #1 goal). "Everyone" using something is certainly flattering, but there are some negatives, just ask Microsoft about the perception of Windows.
