What AJAX libraries do you think best utilize object oriented programming? I have used Dojo mainly and I can say that it is relatively simple to use and access the api, but if you are creating a very big application it can be a little limited in that regard. Are there any AJAX libraries out there that you favor for this?

Of the libraries I've used, Prototype seems to have the heaviest emphasis on OO.

I have extensive experience with YUI and only limited experience with prototype and jquery, so I don't know if I'm not too biased. Prototype really aims to be closest to thinking in terms of classes. Is this a good thing or just trying to make JS something it's not (class-based), I can't be the judge of that

My biggest beef with Prototype (which I am a fan of, I wrote a book on it after all) is that it tries a bit too hard to make JavaScript seem like a class-based copy of Ruby. That, and its intrusiveness into the DOM.
It is a great library -- I'm just enjoying the hands-off approach of jQuery more these days.
