> Why jquery though? Is it even being maintained anymore? I see they're pushing one release a year. Last release was in April/May. I hope it's being maintained. At this point, I view jQuery as a foundational library. I know newer versions of HTML and browser APIs are replacing some of the need for jQuery. But its ergonomics are universally understood. For me that's as important as the APIs themselves. And I don't trust browser vendors to maintain uniformity long-term. Too many egos involved. I hope jQuery never dies.
