Crappy revisionist article, XMLHttpRequest was in Mozilla since at least 2000 (see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22942 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22942 ).. the notion that nobody used it until Gmail in 2004 is just dumb.
Perhaps Gmail was the first polished & popular example, but the techniques the AJAX retronym refers to were already in widespread use by then.
