		simonrobb on Dec 1, 2014 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: The State of JavaScript in 2015 If you misuse jQuery, it doesn't reflect badly on jQuery as a technology, it reflects upon the developer. jQuery is an outstanding library. If you stay away from technologies because there are developers out there misusing it, I doubt you'll be left with much but machine code.

Well, yes, that's correct. jQuery is outstanding, but 95% of the time you don't need to use it.
