Are we disqualifying JQuery out of the gate then? If there was one
of the 5 I would have bashed it would have probably been Mochikit, 
closely followed by Prototype, on the grounds of their poor outlook
for interoperability (Mochikit dumps stuff in the global namespace,
Prototype modifies Array.prototype)

A mitigating factor for Array.prototype is that I believe the 
programming technique it breaks (for x in Array) is actually broken
anyway, since I have frequently seen it fail on unmodified IE
Javascripts.
