I don't understand why they (Josh Peek) didn't base it on jQuery in the first place. Prototype is like 128K vs 15K of jQuery.

jQuery is 15k when zipped. The minified version before gzip is closer to 55 k.

Prototype, when zipped, is 22 k -- just checked on a server I'm running.

They're closer than you think :)

*edit - that's for version 1.51... 1.6 when minified and gzipped by web server is 23 kb. Not a huge difference, but you get the point.

The Rails crew has a chubby for Prototype.

Because the creator of Prototype works at 37 Signals.

Maybe and maybe not. Prototype has some features built-in that jQuery implements as plugins. Personally I prefer jQuery + plugins.
