This again seems to be just stupid tech stuff nobody really needs.

Maybe I agree, that this modern crappy fake food is make by meat eaters for people who try to not eat so much meat, but they forgot that a normal veggie patty doesn't need to taste like meat.

But I get it, if that page would be loaded by thousands of people each day, you may not want to make them all to load an extra jQuery file for what you could have written instead as a Script tag in a HTML file.

That's true, but the beauty of jQuery code is still missing in current JavaScript. It would be nice in my opinion if JavaScript would copy something of that shortness and beauty, that jQuery brings with it.

It would be interesting how much jQuery is needed to maintain compatibility over different browsers today, in the past that was the main use case. But nowadays I would use it because the code is a beauty to read and to write. For that beauty you need to load 87,5 KB of additional data, but that's not very much.

Still I get the idea of not needing to use another library. But I never saw that a new version of jQuery broke any code, but that may be my mistake.

Edit: With Vim and stuff I get your point, but I would say it's not really comparable to an UI-based IDE, it is command line stuff. Even if many people prefer that, it may not be as convenient as a GUI-based IDE for some of us.

Or am I missing something here? I really love(d) atom.io, but I need to find something else... (https://github.blog/2022-06-08-sunsetting-atom/)

Edit: Oh wait, I forgot Eclipse... That heavy thing :P
