BTW, big benefit of jQuery over Prototype - jQuery leaves object prototypes alone, making it easier to mix and match other script libraries.
However, I also think too many people fail to undersand the power or limitations of Javasacript itself. eg: outside of the libraries, when do you see good functional code?
JSTR is the only tool I have found that actually benchmarks javascript snippets and allows you to optimize you code properly, or to choose the correct code for the purpose.
Do you know anything else like it?
It plays nice with jQuery too.
@Mladen: jQuery minified and zipped is 16kb. And according to this chart http://ajaxian.com/archives/yui-setting-the-rec... YUI will be at 8.9kb. without animation and drang and drop and 18.4kb with them. So size is not that big of a deal - specially if it is hosted for free :)
@Dan: I might actually do that. I love jQuery's syntax too much to completely give it up. I am glad to hear that you are already doing that and not having problems.
@Ross: Never heard of JSTR but I will check it out. thanks.
At least, This shows that YUi is the slowest. That is the biggest problem I have with it.
I think using both jQuery and YUI is the way to go. I can use jQuery for
all my manual script writing and just limit YUI to User Interface stuff -
which is where it really shines.
I like the prototype documentation and syntax, and jQuery is a clean library that's for sure. Extjs is a good option too, but it's not free for commercial use.
In the end of the day, I'd still prefer YUI because it has a great support in the person of Yahoo, and it works pretty well.

and I can tell you that now I only use jQuery and I don't need YUI for their
UI anymore.
Plus jQuery has significantly improved its UI-related stuff just check the
gallery at www.jqueryui.com
My point of view JQUERY is the best javascript library for the dynamic website. The jquery has syntax ,easy to learn and good manual.
