javascript v jQuery frameworks

[osgood_]

I don't want to stir up a hornets nest here but if devs wants to make some sensible contibutions giving their opinions, without getting personal, please do so.

Materialise.css front end framework now uses pure javascript, rather than dependency on jQuery.

If you compare the current versions of the jQuery min js file and the Materiaise min js - jQuery is 90kb and Materialise is 180kb  the unminified files are 274kb and 369kb respectively.

My real question is this. I can understand a developer who says you should use javascript and not jQuery its crap, given they are writing bespoke javascript and not a javscript framework but when I hear developers say 'great Materialise now uses pure javascript and no need for that crap jQuery now' then proceed to hook up a js file which is twice as larger as the jQuery js file, I think that is a bit suspect.

Bot require initialisation of some kind but that file is only likely to be 10k maybe, so JQquery is still the lighter of the js frameworks.

Why is there a witch hunt in terms of JQuery in this circumstance. I can undertand the bespoke javascript workflow because obviously it is much better in terms of file size.

Hummmmm

The problem is Ben that even in the face of overwhelming evidence, read the thread, you choose to ignore it simply because you harbour a long standing grudge. You could not even answer with an honest Yes or No when ask if it was me who initailly started the insults in this thread because you cant bring yourself to say No.

See there you go again infering I'm a madam when you know quite well I'm not, You are really a total disgrace to be representing Adobe.
