jQuery is great. [citation needed]

But jQuery has some problems.

  • non-standard features
  • slow for some operations
  • bloated feature set
  • file size

Don't use jQuery.

Got it.

Don't use jQuery.

Got it.

We still need something to manipulate the DOM.

Why not?

(Actually quite a bit of ES5, too.)

Show me!

Is it more efficient?

Sorta.

ಠ_ಠ

So should I still use jQuery?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Think about what you need.

Could you do with just sizzle and ES5/6?

Thank You!
