The basis of the complaints raised in this article, is that they didn't want to include jQuery just for the query string parser. I think rollup and ES2015 modules is taking us in the right direction which allows large projects like jQuery and lodash to be kitchen sinks, but to be used piecemeal. I think that will get us a long way toward the less-sensitive-to-filesize ecosystems that were compared in this article.
