On: Why I'm still using jQuery

[thrownaway954]

It's a mature library that takes the pain out of cross browser compatibility (yes... you read that right, cross browser compatibility is still a thing in 2019) and the verboseness of using native JS (yes... you read THAT right, using native JS is verbose), so why wouldn't you want to use it?

Oh and on more thing... If you're not using jQuery but instead using native JS with polyfills... YOU ARE A MORON AND DOING IT WRONG and should just you jQuery.

When it comes to manipulating the DOM, I'm not sure it actually is anymore - especially if you can cut out IE11 (and IE11 isn't too bad).

What would be an example of cross-browser compatibility that JQuery takes care of that would be a pain to do with DOM apis.
