The problem with not using jquery is that it still takes a lot more code to get the same thing done, and I still need to worry about cross-browser compatibility myself. The amount of extra code keeps shrinking, and browsers are getting closer together but it's still not as easy.
Just don't build complex UIs with jquery. But plain old HTML with a dash of jquery is just really easy to work with.
- PostOnce 3y agoThat's what we're saying though: that used to be true, it's not now (at least in my experience so far). JS does a lot by default that used to require jQuery. It's surprising and refreshing. I still hate JavaScript and use it as rarely as possible, but even I of all people will concede that modern JavaScript has improved to the point where it can now stand alone. Give me an example of something that takes a lot more code without jQuery? Maybe we'll both learn something by comparison?
