I'd never heard of intercoolerjs before, and was going to comment how introducing another framework to the discussion was counterproductive, but then wow I checked it out. It's exactly the improvement on jQuery the OP asked for, and thus fits that mental model perfectly. It is also so logically designed it basically requires no documentation - I read the introduction and a handful of examples and thought, "shit of course it works this wasy" and could basically derive how every other feature mapped to its implementation in that moment. Congratulations!
