Ask HN: Are there any mature HTML5/canvas libraries?

I am planning to write a canvas-based drag and drop puzzle game.

Looking around at the various libraries I could use, it looks like (from looking at bug reports) that every library I look at seems to have problems on one of the desktop, Android or iOS, with things misbehaving.

Am I better off just reinventing the wheel, or is there any library which someone has experience with working across different OSes and browsers?

Hydroxide: https://github.com/Poincare/Hydroxide

Disclosure: I'm the developer.

Its very easy to use, small, and if you fire me an email about anything going wrong, I'll fix it :)

RaphaelJS seems solid on the desktop, but not sure how stable it is on Android/iOS.

I'm currently using FabricJS (demo page: http://kangax.github.com/fabric.js/kitchensink/), so far, works fine on desktop and iPad, didn't do much testing on android though.

I'm currently working on a browser based game and I found http://easeljs.com/ to be greatly useful.
