how many JS Ajax frameworks ?

My guess is that Domino developers are interested in Ajax frameworks for JavaScript. While there are other server-based frameworks, guess how many Ajax JS frameworks you have to choose from (some open-source, as my newly beloved jQuery, others commercial). So, take a rough guess: 5 ? 10 ? Ntz. A wiki like site gives the answer: 36. You can see this on http://ajaxpatterns.org/Javascript_Multipurpose_Frameworks

This is something I was astonished about, then I came to think this is normal. JavaScript is blamed for it's lack of debugging but it's so versatile that I could also start my own framework. I'm not so clever though; then why bother if others took the lead and gave the world jQuery ?
