Yeah, it doesn't serve the site well to include the animation and XHR stuff right at the top.
But if you had a small site that just needed to perform a few DOM manipulations, this would be highly relevant. If I just need to pop a div open and closed when a button is clicked, I sure won't bring in jquery just for that.
- vbezhenar 8y agoThe reason I used jQuery is to have script working on every browser in the wild. Now that jQuery dropped support for old browsers, this advantage is no more (sure, I could use old jQuery, actually I'm doing exactly it, but I don't like to use outdated versions). I think that it was one of strongest point of jQuery and the that they decided to get rid of it is questionable decision.

- pferde 8y agoIt sounds like someone (motivated enough) should fork jQuery before the old browsers support got removed and maintain it as jQuery-legacy, backporting fixes from "new" jQuery" if applicable.
