And definitely replace jQuery with Zepto (which is more-or-less a drop-in replacement), if you have control of the client (non-IE) or especially are working in mobile.

I've not heard of Zepto. Out of curiosity, why use it over jQuery?

  When using Phonegap (and mobile web in general), I've experienced a pretty major delay between page load and jQuery running. Zepto seems to run instantly. YMMV.

  Probably the file size argument, last time I read one of these discussions jQuery was 3x bigger gzipped at ~30kb.

    Ok, that makes sense, especially for mobile development. I looked it up, and it seems to be missing quite a bit, including the .noConflict() option, which I seem to have to use quite a bit when working on others' code....

I wouldn't say "definitely". Even Foundation has gone back to jQuery.
