As you can probably tell, my personal favorite is MochiKit.  Like Jay
said previously, it's very pythonic, and that makes it easy to switch
between writing Django code and Javascript code.  The documentation is
good and there is solid unit test coverage.  Personally, I don't know
if I could write Javascript without MochiKit.Iter or MochiKit.DOM.
Those modules alone make a huge difference for me.

Luckily, you don't have to worry about that anymore with all of the
new frameworks out there. :)  I was in the same boat, but now I enjoy
writing Javascript because I use MochiKit.
