The great things about these plugins is that you can strip them down to what you need and patch them yourself (remember lib or vendor directory). NPM and build tools make this a chore.
- DrSiemer 3y agoStripping them down is work, especially with the type of code that can often be found in random jQuery plugins. It could be argued that avoiding unnecessary work is my main job function. It's a lot more efficient to just get something that already does what I need, without requiring patches. In my experience leaving the jQuery ecosystem made this a lot easier.
