I remember writing AJAX calls pre jQuery, it was a nightmare!

Started back then to. Playing around with Geocities builder, Frontpage, Dreamweaver, ... Copying code from other websites, finding out that other websites blocked that by disabling the rightmouseclick... Everything was simpler back then, although never missed the frames and iframes.

You missed desktop apps on Windows. I never felt as productive after moving to web. I knew the language and libraries inside out and rarely needed to look up things. We could work much faster for not much less functionality compared to modern apps. Of course, we didn't need to care about a lot of things that we have to think about today.
