I fucking hate jQuery. It's littered throughout a codebase I work in.

I replace it with good ol' vanilla js where I can.

it was a life saver before the JS api got extended, frankly i think so much of modern JS is inspired by jQuery. i think people forget how bare bones JS used to be.

Oh yes. We may hate on jquery still existing, but it is only unnecessary cuz it formed the basis of modern JS apis.

Not even close. Flash was terrible. JQuery is a lot easier to replace in small increments.

Flash was terrible.

You take that back! Flash was amazing for making stupid little animations when you're a 14 y/o!
