Field Guide to Programmers

Brian Reindel, author of How to Choose a Javascript Framework, has compiled a nice chart of Javascript libraries. All the biggies are there: Mootools, Prototype, Dojo, EXT, YUI, jQuery, and DOM Assistant.

JavaScript Libraries By Comparison [5]:

There are several factors to consider when compiling the necessary information for this comparison. The first, and most important, is terminology. Even though there are numerous features and functionalities for each JavaScript library that are similar, they do not always fit neatly into predetermined headings. It remains imperative that each library feature be weighted while keeping this in mind, and when appropriate, read the full description that accompanies each heading. This is a fantastic starting point for your own research and analysis.

Aaron Newton popped a nice link in the comments too about why he chose Mootools. Definitely worth a read if Mootools is on your radar.
