What cross-browser JavaScript libraries exist? [closed]

ALL the cross browser JavaScript libraries out there? You do realize that there are well over 100 libraries out there, so you should narrow this down a little, IMO.

A good place to start is with Wikipedia's Comparison of JavaScript frameworks, which covers Dojo, Ext JS, jQuery, midori, MochiKit, MooTools, Prototype & script.aculo.us, qooxdoo, YUI, and SweetDEV RIA.
