Flexibility
Prototype and JQuery are flexible enough to stay out your way.
Developer background
"produce hand made code"
Unnecessary coding instead of using the code that was already developed, designed and tested by community
Insight
"I know exactly what is behind methods I use"
These frameworks are 100% open, go ahead and look inside, you'll see how JS gurus are doing it.
Accessibility
"keeping relatively low size of a page"
Frameworks mentioned are small and lightweight enough. Prototype.js weight is 124 kb (unpacked), consider browser caching (use google access), and this argument won't be serious anymore.
- alex_c 18y agoI'll give him the benefit of the doubt and focus on his last point: "Using right tool for the job" Sometimes, it doesn't make sense to include 124kb of Prototype (yes, before gzip and cache) just to be able to do $("myFavoriteDiv").hide()
