Obvious if you've been around long enough. I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of people reading this have never actually worked with jquery, only heard the bedtime horror stories.
(I mean, leaving aside the fact that it's utterly nondescriptive...)
- andybak 3y agoI still rather miss it. Sniff...
- dr_kiszonka 3y agoI used jQuery in a few personal projects and it was very useful. It was 10 - 15 years ago, so I am sure there are better tools now, but for a hobbyist it was great.
- andybak 3y agoThe syntax still seems much more pleasant for DOM manipulation than vanillaJS. It had a nice pseudo-functional interface and a ton of elegant helpers. Whenever I do DOM manipulation in vanilla I wonder to myself if the API couldn't be a bit more user-friendly and readable.
- eternityforest 3y agoI think I'd definitely use some kind of library if I still had to touch the DOM heavily. I liked JQuery, but I like reactive frameworks a lot more.
- troupo 3y agoFor low-level-ish work (like DOM manipulation) there are still no better tools than jQuery
- explaininjs 3y agoAlso browser dev tools still implement $ as a document.querySelector sort of alias.
