Quite a feel of those seem like while you don't need jQuery (so the site is indeed actually named), it's still often easier. Doubly so when you consider that the non-jQuery methods don't always chain together.
Admittedly I'm usually using it in places where loading the extra library is not an issue, so if you're really going for slimline, then sure.
I've always thought that about this site. If they were trying to ease people off jQuery, showing the vanilla JS equivalent side by side is not going to have the desired impact!
