You've misunderstood the intent of the post. It's mostly my fault -- I shouldn't have named it "jQuery code smells". The point of the post was to list jQuery code snippets that exhibit "code smells", -- you seem to be under the impression that I think that jQuery itself, smells. And that couldn't be further from the truth.

That's exactly what I thought ... until I read the article. Your intent seems pretty clear to me; but if a lot of people are misunderstanding you, that's a good sign you need to change the message to address the widespread confusion.

Actually, I was under the impression that you were putting the blame for sub-par code on jQuery, not on the people using it. I agree that most of these practices a at least a bit odd, but thankfully jQuery does not force any of them upon you.

Simple editorial fix: Add quotes to the title to clarify that you're referring to the noun, "jQuery 'Code Smells'", rather than making the statement that "jQuery Code is Smelly".
