Almost all of these articles always have several caveats in place about features that aren't supported or libraries that are added to include missing features.

So its not really 'replacing' JQuery is it?

(no knock meant to @franciscop who didn't write the article or the title)

So I understand the desire to write your own libraries and use them. But isn't the author just replacing one third-party library with another? How is that really any better?

Aside from the size which really seems to be a bizarre thing to be commenting on. I've seen png files used for buttons that were larger than a compressed JQuery library
