On: You might not need jQuery

> I believe the point is that many libraries use about 1% of jQuery. That hardly justifies pulling in the entire thing.

Sure, but if you use a few libraries that all use a couple features of jQuery you still only need to load jQuery one time and everything just works. You may not care if it only works on the most modern browsers, but someone who uses your library probably will.

Or you need jQuery two times because one of the plugins you need is not well maintained and depends on an older version. This actually happens.
