Not to side with anyone, but as has been stated many times before, a lot of feature improvements, bug fixes for prototype seem to sit in trac without much acknowledgement or feedback.
Thomas is very good with Scriptaculous (as well as helping with prototype), but I don't think I've ever seen a single post from Sam and that does hurt prototype in it's own way. Some of you obviously disagree and hey, think what you like. I myself have posted a few questions regarding issues with prototype and never received any feedback on it. I'm not going out to build a new javascript lib myself, but it can be discouraging. This is a spinoff list and Peter is spinning off his own lib. If it succeeds, great, if it fails then lesson learnt. Instead of knocking Peter down, why not let him be (it's open source, he can do what he wants) or suggest ways to improve the dialogue between the prototype maintainers and it's users.
