This appears to me as a collection of jQuery plugins that is masquerading as a better version of jQuery. I really don't like the name, and I hope whoever controls the jQuery trademark puts the kibosh on this name. These plugins should stand on their own merit, and should be advertised as something other than jQuery++.
Frankly, I have also not really liked that jQueryMobile, and jQueryUI used the jQuery name because it killed the prospects of better alternative projects, but at least they had endorsement.
- justinbmeyer 14y agoIt is by no means masquerading as a better version of jQuery. No where does it say this. It only states it's a collection of jQuery plugins.

- gpvos 14y agoIt says that in the name.
- fagatini 14y agoIt sort of IS implying that it is a better version of jquery in several places.
- fagatini 14y agoThat said, I have no issue with you saying that. jQuery does have some issues, and this might address them. I'll be checking it out later on tonight.
- josteink 14y agoFrankly, I have also not really liked that jQueryMobile, and jQueryUI used the jQuery name because it killed the prospects of better alternative projects, but at least they had endorsement. What personally put me off jQueryMobile was that it seeks to make everything look like iOS, and to me, that's a no go. That and it being balls slow, even on pretty good hardware. Without being able to piggyback on the jQuery moniker I absolutely refuse to believe it would have been able to make it on its own. And as such, I definitely agree with your point about killing prospects of alternative projects. It's sorely needed.
