Unfortunately I couldn't disagree more. You do not really need JQuery any more, as JS has matured. I just see it as wasted loading time.

I agree with your opinion that you do not 'need' JQuery. I'm saying that people will use it nevertheless, even if better alternatives are available.

JQuery has a lot of ergonomics that I'm really comfortable with (mainly chaining).
