If you want ugly and slow code, then use the Yahoo one.

I personally don't think so. If you check the increasing popularity of Yahoo UI framework, it is clear.

IE's very popular, that doesn't mean it's good.

I don't think any site visitor is interested in JavaScript coding or the server-side technology used in the site apart from the information in which they are interested. You can't compare a normal site visitor who uses some browser to access the information with a person who selects a client-side framework. In case of first the user is not mainly interested (most of the normal users)in the things that runs in the background. In the latter case it is just opposite the developer has to make sure that the selected client-side libraries works well in their site in an efficient manner. If a framework is popular I think it just because of its efficiency as these things are checked and cross checked by experienced developers before using them in their own site. I don't think nobody start using a client-side framework unless they are convinced about it.

There is no point in telling that IE is useless. As a web developer I have to write code that works in most of the browsers. This state will go until Microsoft changes its existing strategy. I personally don't like IE much but as a developer I have to write code that runs correctly in IE also.

Check the following links for more details about the framework.

I don't think popularity is a sin but as far as programming tools are concerned only the good one will survive unlike any other applications.
