I've used both methods of inheritance. Prototypical inheritance in the IO Language is a beautiful thing. Not so much in Javascript. Class based inheritance in Smalltalk and its dynamic mind-children Python and Ruby are similarly elegant and flexible. Not so much in C++ or Java. The problem isn't with Prototypical inheritance, its with the implementation of it in Javascript.
