I'm a relativity recent convert to the use of frameworks in my code, i'd initially been introduced to jquery, which i never really jelled due to its attempt to pretty much rewrite JavaScript. Dojo a framework i started with a few months back (as part of taking over the maintenance of a number of web application) on the other hand has been a totally differnt ball game. Unlike jquery i've found it to simply expand a simplify the tool set javascript offers, rather than change how it functions, and provides by default a much broader set of functionality.

So, i'd have to say I'm more and more becoming a convert of dojo (a somewhat black art due to its diabolical documentation), so i thought i'd ask what frameworks you lot here use, like or hate. Vote for your favourite in the poll :)

I love scriptaculous but just because there's more plugins for jQuery, jQuery wins.

Prototype (I'll vote scriptaculous in the poll) for me. Thinking about switching to jQuery at some point maybe though.

Duno jquery never sold me, i like JavaScript so don't see the need to rework it. Plus jquery may have the plugins, but dojo with its dojox and dijit probably has every one of the features that the plugins would offer.

Dojo FTW

never ever tried Dojo to be honest. I've always used scriptaculous or jquery, but you've given me something to look into ;)

GWT. Generates fast code, easy to use and its full of features. It's the only wt I use that really feels like an actually application.
