> chasing compat issues, writting wrappers, choosing small libs and packing it all together, you could have done your site. I don't know about you, but usually my projects last longer than a week, so those sorts of savings don't represent a significant chunk of my overall development time. Also, I'm not a shit programmer, so I can actually write a for loop that does what I want on the first try. I've spent more time trying to figure out jQuery's goofy syntax and what the hell it's doing with AJAX queries than it has ever saved me in development.
