Why is jQuery so much more popular than Prototype and Scriptaculous?

Asked by RafBM (100points) December 28th, 2009

I learned JavaScript with Prototype/Scriptaculous and love them both, but everywhere I look I see jQuery. What’s the main reason why it is so much more popular? Is it easier to learn? Is it only popular because it is popular, like lots of documentation, plugins, etc?
