The you don't need jQuery website had a concrete use case - you need not include an entire library into your website for some simple tasks which makes your website faster.
Though, this site is cool in showing the power of CSS, I am not sure if there is any specific advantage of using CSS over JS to design tabs, sliders, etc. Just use the best tool for the job!
- kelseydh 10y agoThe Tor web browser disables most (if not all?) Javascript by default as a security measure. Avoiding Javascript is an advantage if you want your website to be accessible to Tor users. If your website only handles basic things like form inputs and it breaks when Javascript is disabled, then you have not made it accessible.
- sotojuan 10y agoI think by now it's pretty safe to say most websites don't care about the tiny % of people using Tor or disabling JavaScript.

- yellowapple 10y agoThere's definitely some merit to not requiring users to download and run arbitrary and untrusted Turing-complete code. Whether abusing a stylesheet language to achieve that is worth said merit is certainly debatable, but I for one applaud the effort.
