Getting Over jQuery
- DigitalSea 13y agoThis article raises some very interesting points and I wholeheartedly agree on the use of document.querySelector, but jQuery still serves a purpose as does jQuery UI which the author tells everyone to stay away from. In an ideal world everything would be native and nice, but browsers like IE are slow to adapt new ways of doing things in Javascript. The one thing that jQuery does well is event delegation abstraction, while on the surface you might think .on looks simple if you dig into jQuery itself you'll see it's quite complicated especially when event bubbling comes into play.
