Which is better: jQuery, MooTools, or script.aculo.us?
Which JavaScript library do you all think is better? Please provide any questions or feedback you may have.

I use what is better for my projects. Usually ends up being jQuery though. Has plenty of plugins, awesome docs and very widely used.

+1 to jQuery. It has tons of stuff built for it and is pretty easy to work with.
In all honesty though, I don't think any of them are 'better' than the other. They are frameworks. You can accomplish the same stuff across all of them with proper javascript knowledge. It just comes down to which one you used and grew with first.Sajan Parikh - PHP Development | Server Management | Linux Administration | Web Consulting

I don't imagine anyone choosing anything else than jQuery .
Besides being, good documented, mature and widely used it has official support from Microsoft and Nokia in their platforms.

Whatever you know how to use, and if you don't know any then jquery due to the community size. Kind of like the whole rails, django bit.

Totally agree. I started with mootools and it was hard finding solutions online, so I went back to pure JS.. And then I finally ended up at jQuery because everytime I googled for solutions to my problems, I found something jQuery related

I use jQueryUI a ton. Used to use YUI (and I still like YUI a lot) but coworkers were already familiar with jQuery and I don't regret having moved over one bit.

script.aculo.us for us.
I much prefer it -- I can integrate it into our web apps very cleanly, and extend it as needed. jQuery is, for want of a better explanation, too developed (if that makes sense).

+10 for jQuery
Reasons:
- lighter (jQuery Core compared to MooTools Core)
- faster ( http://mootools.net/slickspeed/ )
- jQuery have Official UI library, MooTools doesn't
- hundreds of plug-ins on official website
Please note i am used only with JQuery and MooTools. I have little experience with script.aculo.us simply because I don't like it.

jQuery, me too prefer this.
It's easy and having vast range of plugins, better support and there can be a big stuff with jQuery.
