Jquery is great. it's fast, it's powerful, easy to learn. But It's not "new" and that's why people raise their noses at it.
- acdha 8y agoWe also have a weird hangover from the old IE era where people assume you need a framework for everything because the web platform isn’t worth taking seriously. Modern JS has a ton of things which are supported by all mainstream browsers and combined with CSS, HTML5 form validation, etc. there’s a lot of simple work which can be done with no external dependencies and using skills which last far longer.
