There are a lot of them, trust me. Browsers have been improving? Wonderful, but some of us still need to support the unimproved ones. As grandparent says, dealing with these quirks is a waste of time and effort. We've gotten to such a point of jQuery saturation that it seems some of us have forgotten why we use it in the first place. Which is really just the other side of the coin of people blindly using it without knowing why.

There are a lot of them, trust me. I lead a team of developers building web apps day in and day out. I have a number of fairly cutting edge web samples in the wild. A "trust me" on an anonymous board is completely meaningless to me. As grandparent says, dealing with these quirks is a waste of time and effort. There are far less quirks than many imagine them to be. Further by providing some trivial syntactical sugar, jquery encourages a development style that is orthogonal with the DOM, incurring a significant performance penalty (horrid abuses like Twitter). I'm not saying not to use jquery, and we do in several of our projects. But we justify why we use it, and never perversely demand a justification why not.
