Raphael looks really interesting too.

Answer 2

It seems, Cappuccino is what you want. But the speed isn't so impressive, not yet anyways.

Take a look at the demos. I really hope the project will find the support it deserves.

Getting a firm overview of the best frameworks out there took me over a month. I will write a summary shortly.

Answer 3

EasleJS is a great framework!

Answer 5

Mozilla Labs' Bespin project currently uses their own toolkit called Thunderhead. It's written by and for the Bespin developers, but it's a separate project that could be used for anything. You will need a (free) Bespin account to try it, since there aren't any other projects that I know of that use it.

I've never used it, but I know it uses the DOM and a subset of CSS plus it's own CSS-like properties. I doubt the API is very stable though since it's experimental and evolves with the needs of the Bespin developers.

KineticJS and Three.js are both good ones. I am using KineticJS now and it makes life much easier especially for sprites/animations or general stuff you might use in games.
