The disadvantages of JavaScript prototype inheritance, what are they?

Viewed 5643

I recently watched Douglas Crockford's JavaScript presentations, where he raves about JavaScript prototype inheritance as if it is the best thing since sliced white bread. Considering Crockford's reputation, it may very well be.

Can someone please tell me what is the downside of JavaScript prototype inheritance? (compared to class inheritance in C# or Java, for example)
