I think one of the main reasons why a company might choose Prototype & Scriptaculous is that they get "most" of the press. Loads of high profile sites use them, their name is all over the place, and they've been around the longest (next to dojo).

Why? Two stories today from Ajaxian (Ajaxian.com) caught my eye and made me curious: CNN Beta Site: http://ajaxian.com/archives/cnn-beta-site Apple Revamps Its Website http://ajaxian.com/archives/apple-revamps-its-website In both cases, Apple and CNN have gone with Prototype and Scriptaculous. I should say up front I'm a big fan of jQuery and Interface, but I'm wondering why two big sites like this would adopt Prototype when other high-profile sites like Technorati have adopted jQuery. Are there any standard arguments for Prototype that I don't know about? Or is it simply a matter of preference and that's all? Just curious.
