If I were building a project that used jquery, then this would be a good thing.

But these days I prefer things to be as vanilla as possible. jquery is becoming more of a burden than help given how much better modern browsers are becoming.

In the not-too-distant future I picture myself stripping jQuery from my projects, so the less tie-in the better.



How jQuery is a burden beyond the extra 32kb gziped file that the browser have to load? Please don't try the " i am cool because i hate jQuery" mantra. Cheers


How exactly is jQuery a burden?
