[Catalyst] rich ajax UI component libraries for Catalyst?

[Leandro Hermida]

Hi Nicolas,

Thanks for the excellent advice, this is very good to know for us new
users!  If I may ask everyone another question, what are peoples
opinions about which libraries are best? most straightforward to use?
The only time I've ever used one was to do a drop-down menu ajax
auto-suggest on a text box, I tried Scriptaculous and jQuery's and I
found Scriptaculous to be much better, jQuery seemed overly
complicated to achieve the same goal.

jQuery and jQuery UI
ExtJS
YUI
Dojo
Scriptaculous/Prototype
others?

best,
Leandro
