If you don't like the current libraries and/or frameworks out there, then that's your choice but don't put down the fantastic work being done in this field just because something doesn't float your boat or to pretend to yourself that not using these things makes you a better programmer (I'm not accusing anyone).
i agree totally, especially the "pretend to yourself that not using these things makes you a better programmer" part, i have had friends of mine question why i use libraries and everytime i have to explain that i really cant be bothered reproducing the code, then debugging it only to find out that it doesnt work on IE, so then u have to work out some fix, if you use a lib then the hardworks been done for you, all of them are cross browser compatible and you can get on with more important things. Time = Money

Personal preference atm is jQuery, i just prefer it to prototype its seems less oafish, but they are both equally good.
