- jacobsenscott 5y agojQuery still provides an objectively superior (more expressive, concise, and compatible) API for the dom. Yes, the cut an paste "you don't need jquery" solutions work 90% of the time. But jquery works 99.99% of the time and cover more of the gnarly edge cases that exist even on modern browsers.
