I feel like Javascript programmers are among the only coders who insist on reinventing the wheel for every website (myself included). In reality, there is no need to rewrite a bulletproof XMLHttpRequest wrapper every time you need to send data to the server, yet we still feel the need to do it. I think it is because for a long time, very few people actually knew how to write good Javascript, and we've learned not to trust others. Big archives like DynamicDrive don't do much to inspire it either, but lately I've been willing to accept that JQuery just might be alright, and that instead of rewriting methods I perceive I can do better, maybe I will just rewrite their methods and resubmit it.
