That's what everyone keeps missing. Can vanilla do what jQuery can? Of course, and that has always been true. What jQuery (and similar) offer is quality of life stuff, vanilla has never even tried to offer.
This is still an ecosystem without a standard library and with no consistent design style/layout. It is janky and bad. It being "less bad than it used to be" isn't the shiny endorsement that everyone thinks it is.

- nikanj 4y agoI guess I should have added more meat to my comment: It’s frustrating when people reject a good tool like jQuery, with the argument that the same functionality can be achieved with just vanilla JS.
