David Nolen just posted this to the MooTools Google group:

Well thought out blog post about why Prototype is preferred over jQuery. Not a mindless flame war piece, but a reasoned argument. Interestingly enough, MooTools actually _combines_ what he likes about Prototype and jQuery into one package! In particular, MooTools has a uniform design throughout, inheritance, a great CSS selector engine, good functional aspects, supports function chaining, and of course provies a couple of things that Prototype doesn’t properly have (multiple inheritance via Implements). I pointed some of these things out in a comment.

Good recommended reading.

David
