I actually like the design of Prototype and Scriptaculous (for probably 
the same reasons you dislike it) but I understand that everyone has 
their own needs and opinions so I welcome another library.

One thing you may want to consider. Part of the reason so many people 
are into Prototype is because Rails has tight integration with 
Prototype. If you are looking for bigger adoption it might be useful to 
also provide some Rails integration. What would be great is if a plugin 
could override the javascript integration built into Rails to do the 
same thing with your library. That way a person could transparently 
switch to another Javascript library (such as yours).

Without the integration I would imagine most people will "go with the 
flow" and continue to use Prototype even if it is not their favorite.
