> Pages like "You might not need jQuery" try to sell the idea that it’s easy to ditch jQuery. ... good reasons to not use jQuery: if you’re writing code that you want to be re-used by others...

Literally the first thing youmightnotneedjquery.com says is:

> jQuery and its cousins are great, and by all means use them if it makes it easier to develop your application.

> If you're developing a library on the other hand, please take a moment to consider if you actually need jQuery as a dependency.
