Actually, in your example, the comparison would be YUI vs. Ext vs. Dijit,
not Dojo itself.  At this point (and bear in mind, part of the reason for
breaking Dojo into 3 projects post-0.4 was this), that comparison would be
Prototype vs. jQuery vs. Dojo Core.

I'm not entirely sure (outside of the way we namespace everything), and
others would be a better resource for answering this question...but based on
my own interactions during the course of working on Dojo and hitting the
various Dojo Developer Day conferences, it would seem that the majority of
programmers using it (from a first impression) tend to come from the Java
world.

I could be wrong about this though, as I'm not primarily a Java developer (I
know it, rarely develop with it; my own background (outside of pure JS) is
primarily MS-based.)
