I'm quite certain that class-side inheritance is a good idea for
dynamic class based OO languages with inheritance. It has proven

class-based, or OO, or inheritance. But if you have that combination,
inheritable class methods make a lot of sense.

In particular (and I did not cite your words) I think the interpretation
of class methods as "static" is a stumbling block, and using |this|
more, to increase genericity, is good.
The ultimate generic prorgramming model might be purely functional, but
|this| is "just" another parameter. We shouldn't bend JS to fit on the
static Procrustean bed of Java or C#.
