Anyone have experience with game development using javascript and the html5 canvas element?
So far I have found two libraries, are either of these worth using?

For lots of reasons, HTML5 is now the favourite development technology for web developers and game developers. It can offer both 3D and 2D graphics, coma offline assets storage, audio APIs, and full support for nearly every web browser imaginable.
Since most game developers want to focus on their actual game and not in creating this whole abstraction layer, it is recommended you use a HTML5 game frameworks. HTML5 game frameworks and libraries that contain building components you can use to create your own games.
Yes! JavaScript is a great language for game development, depending on the type of game you want to create. JavaScript is best for web-based and mobile games. It's also a great language for kids to learn because it's generally easy to understand and has plenty of resources for coders readily available online.
HTML5 game development can cost around $25,000 to $30,000 for a single platform with basic functionality. If you wish to develop a HTML5 Game with all the advanced features and functionalities, with support for multiple platforms, it may cost up to $250,000.
You can also use Lime JS - very promising HTML5 game developement framework. http://www.limejs.com

A bit late to this ;-) but here are some current or emerging frameworks

these are probably overkill for the kind of games you're mostly referring to.
Also, take a look at Sencha Touch
