> Whereas before it was "jQuery for EVERYTHING", now it seems to be the reverse: "remove jQuery from EVERYTHING", Reminds me of "replace ALL tables with divs" in the mid 2000s. I actually saw developers spending inordinate amounts of time using divs and css to display tabular data across browsers (which back then meant the one you used: Firefox, and the one everyone else used: IE6). I'm not sure what causes this black and white thinking. I guess it's laziness. It's easy to spot the word jquery and say "bad". It's more difficult to consider each case independently.
