Why?! Well, Prototype was great to get up and started and do fancy things, but then when I wanted to know how things worked or have more control, I found I didn't know how to. Having a method that you pass arguments to is great but it isn't enough.
JQuery is a steeper learning curve but you have more control, your javascript is in js files and not sprinkled around your HTML and you actually learn more about the front end. I'm a backend developer and hate the front end but it has been kind of fun (but stressful and frustrating) and I have learned heaps. That's why. but I guess it horses for courses.
