I wrote this thing because I wanted the classic jQuery API goodness for 1) grabbing elements and 2) binding events. Yes, obviously this gist doesn't cover the feature set of jQuery; and in my brief readme, I hope I didn't convey something different. We will always need jQuery. We need a well maintained library that addresses browser inconsistencies and provides a better API. (Don't expect my gist to be maintained like jQuery is. :) I wrote a doc a year ago documenting all the bugs jQuery fixes for you (linked elsewhere in this thread). The jQuery team is talented and I respect their dedication and work greatly. I'm also interested in a conversation about what developers want most from their browser JS stdlib. Because whatever a developer's answer is, shouldn't they be able to get a custom build of that?
