I think the problem here is that there are still people who think that a 1-5% performance difference on a webapp means anything at all. I would trade 5% of my app performance for 5% more code out of developers any day of the week. jQuery and other libraries my an inefficient "crutch", but if lets a coder get the job done in one or two lines instead of 50 the crutch is worth the cost.
- axod 17y agoThat's a really really short term view. Which may be appropriate for some things, but not for others.

Then you should be fired. "jQuery and other libraries my an inefficient "crutch", but if lets a coder get the job done in one or two lines instead of 50 the crutch is worth the cost." They "chain" 50 lines together into two, which makes them virtually impossible to read or debug (especially for neophyte coders.) All of that time you "saved" is coming back to you eventually in spades. Count on it.
