It is easy as hell. What's there to not like? I don't care to be called names or being old fashioned.
I also don't care about "right" tooling for frontend. As far as it works, it is robust and it is going to be around for many years, I am fine with it.
- no_wizard 4y agoThe JS Foundation oversees the jQuery project as a steward and has it listed as "end of life or near end of life" for jQuery UI. I'd suggest for bug fixes & security updates to quite likely look elsewhere [0]: https://openjsf.org/projects/ https://openjsf.org/projects/

- jmholla 4y agoI don't think jQuery UI's move into maintenance mode is not that much of a concern. They are not the only clients. The foundation lists jQuery under its Impact Projects which are described as: > Impact projects are on a sustaining cycle of development, maintenance, and long-term support. These projects are used commonly in enterprise production environments and have large, well-established project communities. > ... > They receive ongoing financial and marketing support from the Foundation, and are expected to cross-promote the foundation along with their activities. This seems to me like they expect to continue to support jQuery for the foreseeable future.
