jQuery is DOM-only, and Prototype is general Javascript with classes etc. If
you program in Javascript (versus just setting colors positions css etc.), then
Prototype is much better choice. For DOM-oriented tasks, both are good.
For me as a programmer, Prototype is better, since I can express my intentions
more clearly with Object-Oriented approach. For a non-programmer and/or
beginner (e.g. web designer) jQuery is easier to use and learn because it is
simpler (procedural) and limited to DOM-oriented tasks.

Well, great feedback so far.
As stated, I'm a fan of Proto, and will stay committed. I think mostly
because I am just now getting to a level of proficiency that allows me to
actually develop, rather than struggle with concepts, how-to's, and basic
syntax.
I'm not a huge plugin fan, so have been pleased with core Proto library +
Scripty and writing my own, but perhaps an argument for JQuery is their
wealth of plugins. I state that more as a question since I really do not
know how the libraries/plugins/extensions compare in size and usefulness.
Anyhow, keep up the great work Proto, and I should also mention that the
support that T.J. offers on this group is amazing and well beyond expected.
