> I cant even name a similar piece of software in web development history that is as important as jQuery. Apache?

  There were other web servers, there weren't other jQuerys.

    I get the point you're mentioning but jQuery was there with Prototype.js and Mootools.

      And Dojo and YUI and a couple of others.

    But Apache was born before jQuery, and continues to live on after jQuery (should have) died.
