Ajaxian posted the result from Nitobi AJAX survey. It is interesting to see the results from this survey. What caught my attention was the Javascript framework question.

What toolkits or frameworks are you using in your projects?

This was quite a different result than from our last survey.

• jQuery: 144
• Prototype: 143
• Scriptaculous: 127
• YUI: 99
• Ajax for ASP.Net (Atlas): 91
• Mootools: 65
• Dojo: 63
• ExtJs: 61
• Nitobi: 61
• Spry: 29
• GWT: 19
• JMaki: 6
• Mochikit: 2

Even though I consider Prototype and Scriptaculous to be one framework (since you can’t run Scriptaculous without Prototype) it is interesting how many developers are using these frameworks. Honestly, I wasn’t surprised at JQuery being at the top, it is a very useful toolkit and so is Prototype. On the other hand, I was disappointed that YUI scored so low. I think YUI is a very well thought out framework that can really provide a very solid foundation for web applications.

What are your thoughts? What framework/toolkit do you use for your AJAX application?
