What I hate, that most of the jQuery plugins have a huge lack of documentation. You select plugin and then spend next day trying to figure out how it's working. It's almost the same as dowloading random js file form random website and trying to use it. Looked through currently available repos, and half of them lack even simple plugin usage cases in repositories :)

it's true for the most of small opensource projects.

Then, maybe, your selection process is flawed.

If you keep using plugins, you're probably going to want to understand how they work since you can't always rely on the person developing them. That said, I'm STOKED that this is finally back!

  It's the selection process that is annoying. I want to see the plugin working on a simple demo page, especially if it is doing something visual.

    Seriously. Don't expect me to read your verbose description; just show it to me.

That's why I like the component (http://github.com/component/component http://github.com/component/component) approach; keeping things to such a minimum feature wise that you can understand very easily what each component does. I love jQuery, but modules tend to be overdoing it on the configuration/options side. Keep things lean and orchestrate.

  Component is really really great. It's the hero JavaScript package management needed. :) When it's more mature its dom components will probably replace jQuery for me.
