I think the idea is that there's a design difference between dojo,
yui, google toolkit, mochikit, prototype, zimbra and scriptaculous,
moofx (hrmph...library), PlotKit, etc. The former are used  primarily
to build behavior while the latter are used primarily to add flash or
'ajaxy goodness' to otherwise complete apps. Or at least that's how I
associate them. I think that scriptaculous is starting to push the
boundary with some of the new features but it retains most of its
roots as the frosting layer on the webapp cake.

I personally use MochiKit with the scriptaculous port (in the SVN
repo) and dip into dojo when I know I'm going to have a use for the
IO, history control, or events utilities it provides. And dojo is
mucho javathonic but that only mildly diminishes its awesomeness.
