Many people seem to hate jQuery and want to do stuff in some library's way, and I'm here like... What? jQuery is a perfect way of doing things like DOM manipulation, when everyone comes along with their libs, they will only exist for 1 microsecond before it gets abandoned, while jQuery has been around for YEARS and it still works the way it first has been

I don't get the appeal for new JS libs and hate for jQuery, at this point I'm suprised its included in standard browser contexts
