This guy's argument is strikingly similar to that of the one made by those people who are anti-Apple, despite the fact that working with Apple products is a commonly pleasant experience, simply for the fact that they're Apple.
Just because a lot of people use something that they're not being forced to use doesn't necessarily mean that they've been "tricked" into doing so.
- icantthinkofone 12y agoUsing Apple products is a pleasant experience. Using jQuery is to avoid learning how to code while purporting that it makes things easier cross browser. Of course, if that were the real reason, we would also have cQuery and c++Query and so on but, instead, we just learn how to code.
- recursive 12y agoIn your c and c++ analogies, what are the inconsistent DOM API implementations?
- Nullabillity 12y agoWell, to be fair, the APIs aren't very consistent between OSes. But then again, I guess Java is the jQuery of C++. :P
- justinpaulson 12y agoYeah, and for that matter, why are we writing C anyway when we could just write everything in assembly? Lazy!
