I like to shit on jQuery like anybody else, but it did have its place in the world. It was totally abused by people, but that doesn't make jQuery bad per se, any more than PHP or JavaScript is bad. Yes, I avoided using those things as much as I could, and I much prefer other tools, but they are tools nonetheless. Bad programmers and nontechnical people posing as programmers can abuse well-loved and efficient tools, too. Have you ever seen code written by a noob embedded "engineer" who decided to write their weekend side project in Golang? It's as much a fucking disaster as any of the bad PHP or jQuery stuff out there.
