I guess people will stop using it when there is a replacement that fills the niche. Currently, this is the only way to change the prototype of existing objects (which is probably rarely the right thing to do), and the only way to make a custom prototype chain on, e.g., Date or Array objects (Object.create doesn't do that), which can be useful. /L -- To view archived discussions from the original JSMentors Mailman list: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ To search via a non-Google archive, visit here: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected]
