I'm not saying everything should be Electron, but it certainly has usecases just like native does.
- `this` might not be document
- find might return multiple elements, not just one
- if nothing matches, jQuery does not throw unlike the vanilla version
I do understand it's just an example, but if you'd consider all the implicit cases the jQuery example covers, you'd end up with a lot more than a single line. I see your point, but using off examples like this don't really sell it too well.

Résumé/CV: I'm a web developer based in Berlin. I like birds, JavaScript, Kimchi, Functional Reactive Programming, and all that. With 10+ years of industry experience, I can help you build your MVP, consult on how to architect or re-architect your web services, or work on improving or maintaining your existing product. I prefer to work on projects that have a positive social impact. In exchange, I probably won't charge you a yacht. Get in touch for more info and a full CV or check https://www.frederikring.com .

This is very important. It's so deeply rooted in all of this it has me full of disgust. But apparently it's ok as long as you're german and you're not making rap music.
If you show up being German and wealthy, treatment will be way different unfortunately.
People think they are so incredibly open minded when they are pro refugees, but as soon as it's the "wrong kind of Ausländer" (the one where it's not possible to impose moral standards as easily as it's not possible to exploit their need for protection anymore) it's all evil all of a sudden.
People will need to realize that they will need to be welcoming to either everyone or noone, everything else is just bigotry. Let's be welcoming to everyone I would propose.
It's actually not too time-consuming (I think it took me an afternoon) and there is a test suite covering the entire spec on npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/promises-aplus-tests so you can just hack away until everything is green.
What would be one of the cases where you'd say you need to commit vendor?
Just a few days ago using dep instead of godep on a medium-sized web application gave me a delta of 1,920,834 additions and 1,942 deletions (_after_ manually pruning _test files), mostly caused by depending on aws-sdk-go.
Do you have any strategy for keeping your vendor small with dep or do you just accept it the way it is?
There seems to be this: https://github.com/golang/dep/issues/858 , but it looks like it's not implemented yet and the status is highly unclear.

Does anyone know if this will be ever be possible?
I did not do too much, Browser, GMail, Camera, Music. That's it. It crashed on unlocking quite often. I'd get a black screen and the small rotating logo would appear. After the OS was back again it needed a reboot as no app would start up again in this "recovered" state.
While the UX concept is really nice everything else feels pre-alpha and should definitely not be sold as a commercial product yet. There's so much lacking (You want to import SIM contacts? Sorry, but maybe in a few releases.), Ubuntu Phone is just not ready for use as an everyday phone.
If you want to get this phone, expect around 5 crashes and 5 additional reboots a day (unfortunately it will also really crash while being on the phone). I'm saying this as a not too heavy user.
I really hope things improve and I can switch back in a year or so, but right now going back to Android was the best thing I could do.
