I haven’t used namespacing in years. The point people are trying to make is that if you do need “advanced jQuery features” maybe you shouldn’t use jQuery. And the basics are also covered by native API, so the same conclusion applies. I would not start a new project with jQuery nowadays just for that stuff. The fact that $(s).remove() never throws for example wouldn’t be ok for me anymore, so I’m looking at more cons than pros.
