The top hit on Google for "make an ajax request with (YUI|jquery)" the documentation page is the first hit.
YUI's page is here, the line of code to make the request is well below the fold. http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/connection/
JQuery's page has it listed immediately. In fact, 2 variants above the fold. http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/
I'm not saying one is right and another is wrong. I'm just saying jQuery's gets more adoption. It's easier and people tend to like that.
I don't, for example, understand why I have to scroll past the YUI dependency configurator to get to the syntax I'm looking for.
I just know that when I did try it (2009) I felt the same as I do today.
