Oh.
- k__ 13y agoThey are libraries, but they are used so fundamentally, that replacing them in a existing app is a pain, so most of them impose the problems of frameworks too :\
- _getify 13y agoThe pain of removing jquery is indeed a problem. So I can see the point from that angle. But the bigger point, about how much less assuming they are just by virtue of being included... that's the distinction I cared most about.
- rjknight 13y agoI too am confused by the claim that Dojo and YUI are not frameworks, but Backbone is.
- thenerdfiles 13y agoYeah, all three have Collections and Views.
- _getify 13y agoThe fact that Dojo and YUI can be used like a framework (so can jQuery, with jQuery UI, etc) is not the point. The point is that, at the point-of-inclusion, those 3 tools/libraries are far less intrusive to the architecture of your site than including Backbone/Angular/Ember.
