How does this compare to raphael (http://raphaeljs.com/) ?

From my understanding Raphael is specific to the SVG context. Two.js is renderer agnostic, you can choose whether it draws in SVG, canvas, or webgl. This is one of many differences between the two.

Rapahel does SVG but most importantly it also renders VML when SVG is not supported by the browser, as a result it supports IE6+ unlike two. (don't get me wrong I still think two is great)

On the contrary, Raphael is an abstraction on top of SVG and VML (Microsoft's vector format). It's quite useful when you have to support IE.

Raphael is SVG or VML (for IE <9)

Raphael has no support to work with groups of elements.

Raphael supports sets of elements:
