People still referred to making websites with JavaScript as 'DHTML', there was no trim method on strings, there wasn't even a forEach method on arrays. JavaScript was a crippled language. IE6 ruled the waves.

MooTools, Prototype, Dojo, Base2 - they made the language usable, even fun, to work with. By using an incredible feature of JavaScript, prototypical inheritance, we were able to add features to the language that made it palatable.
