Unlike a server-side library, JavaScript libraries are dreadfully hard to 
mix-and-match. Prototype's name derives from how it attaches prototypical 
methods to pre-existing JavaScript objects. Any other library which does 
that will conflict with Prototype, so there's generally only enough room in 
the hen house for one rooster.

Next, Ruby on Rails wraps Prototype. So the checklist of benefits for 
Prototype must include a state-of-the-art full-stack web platform written in 
a fully OO language that makes very hard effects extremely easy to code.

If you don't need a web platform, and if some other library has the features 
you need, by all means use it.
