I can't be the only one getting tired of sites like this making the front page. Really? It would be one thing to see someone write a legitimate article on why they think the move to JS frameworks is harmful and/or the benefits of using plain JS, and for that to make it to the front page. I'd be interested in that perspective. But this is just somebody being snide. It's the internet equivalent of the kid on The Simpsons that points and goes "ha-ha!" There's no content. We can't have a discussion around a smartass joke like this.

- graue 14y agoYou're right. And now I feel bad that my whiny comment is the top-rated one, edging out that interesting discussion, but oh well. Hopefully I motivated people to prove me wrong. :)
- pacomerh 14y agoActually accepting that you had a whiny comment is what's keeping you on top, hehe. Anyways, I felt the same way, oh man another fake library that complaints about frameworks & libraries. It's alright these have to repeat from time to time, not everybody saw the last one, etc.

- reedlaw 14y agoReading the example code I learned enough to become interested in vanilla javascript. Although satirical in tone, I found it insightful. It lead me to question the necessity of using jQuery for every project.
- skeletonjelly 14y agoHow often are you selecting span elements? They serve different purposes. Do you due diligence of course.
- tripzilch 14y agoI used to wonder the same thing, but after a while I've found that it already pays to include jQuery (or similar) as soon as your code reaches a complexity of "does more than one kind of thing" (roughly).
