Yet, Sara is neither of those, she's a well respected developer, who's work with CSS and SVG is world-class.

If she's using jQuery as a comparison she's doing it from a place of experience and knowledge

Unfortunately the shortness of the tweet leaves much to interpretation. Perhaps the analogy she was getting at is simply that it's being used in solutions that do not benefit from it.
