I came here looking for this comment; it seems prototype is always forgotten about as part of the "before frameworks" discussion. I remember bringing up using prototype to my coworkers in 2006/2007 (the director was a stickler for having clickable buttons that had a specific width on the left and right of the text, so I proposed using prototype to set that automatically). I recall my coworkers being mostly confounded by it and how to use it.
