JQuery is still maintained. The last pull request was 2 weeks ago. Remember that this is a _mature_ project and as such doesn't need the plethora of pull requests everyday.
Personally if you are spending all that time and energy recreating the wheel just to say "you don't use JQuery ", you're being an idiot and might as well just use JQuery. Seriously I wonder how much they actually spent in dollar hours on this pull request.
- cabalamat 8y ago> Personally if you are spending all that time and energy recreating the wheel just to say "you don't use JQuery ", you're being an idiot I prefer the term "Magpie Developer" https://blog.codinghorror.com/the-magpie-developer/ https://blog.codinghorror.com/the-magpie-developer/ Personally, I'm currently working on projects that still use Bootstrap 3. It still works, just a jQuery still works.
- capsulecorp 8y agoBy that logic JQuery users/devs were idiots for recreating the wheel. I smell a jqueery fanboi and it stinks to high heavens.
- exodust 8y agoWhen the wheel is prone to damage from small bumps, and can't handle off-road, a new stronger reliable wheel that handles all terrain is needed. That's what Jquery offers.
- capsulecorp 8y agoAnd when the wheel is so bloated the car can barely make it down the road without needing to refill the fuel tank a new more lightweight reliable wheel that can handle modern terrain is needed. That is why people are moving away from Jquery.
- exodust 8y agoI would not call Jquery bloated, relative to what is typically found on a website. Some of us still like using it, as the syntax is convenient and functionality reliable. There's an elegance and readability about it that appeals to me more than vanilla JS.
- capsulecorp 8y agoIt is bloated compared to using modern DOM methods. jqueery is not needed, its for the lazy and stupid, my opinion.
- komali2 8y agoThat's a pretty obnoxious and unfounded opinion.
- capsulecorp 8y agoYou seem to be ignorant in the matter. Go learn modern DOM methods, you will understand why you are so wrong.
- exodust 8y agoI think table based layouts will make a comeback. I'm sure you agree, they make good containers for flexbox items. It's a Table, with data inside, so I can put whatever I like in a table, including functioning as layout. Can still be an accessible page, the table just replaces divs for structure, it's role clearly stated.
- msla 8y agoHomophobia? Really? 'jqueery' isn't a typo.
- capsulecorp 8y agoYeah, every typo is homophobia if you decide it is, whatever helps you be offended kiddo.
- chiefalchemist 8y agoNot only are you recreating it, but your universe of users is smaller. Love it or hate it jQuery is being battle tested day in and day out by __a lot__ of sites and site visitors. Sure there's some baggage. There's always some trade off somewhere, isn't there. But if things working is a priority then jQuery isn't such a bad thing.
