I love just about everything about dojo. The source is easily understandable (compared to jquery in my opinion, also the extensive inline documentation is very well done), and it is a great framework. Having said that I think dojo never caught on to the mainstream masses not because it lacked online docs or a nice browsable api like jquery has (although it wouldn't have hurt it), but mainly because you simply have to understand what you're doing when you use dojo. jQ abstracts so much from the dom and simplifies it to such an extent that a complete newb can in notime get some web interactivity going (which is all most people have wanted / still want). Also the fact that jquery keeps its purpose domain small (just dom api, no graphics widgets, etc), means it concentrates on the 80-90% common use cases for site owners.
