Absolutely, I tend to stay away from web development, but when I have to do it it's just seems so unecessarily complex and painful.

- danieltillett 9y agoOnly if you are using the latest hipster JS framework. I write only vanilla JS (infrequently) and things have been getting easier and easier as browsers (and JS) advance.
- pjmlp 9y agoSame approach here. Server side rendering with Java and .NET web stacks, with vanila JS.
- thriftwy 9y agojQuery seems to be an underrated gem. It's just as good as 10 years ago.
- iopuy 9y agoIt's not that it is underrated, the paradigm has moved past manually grabbing bits of the DOM and updating them. Today, it is all about two way databinding. You have a variable that lives in your controller and when he is updated so is the DOM, automatically. I'm glad jQuery has been put to pasture because you end up writing way less code which is way more maintainable.
