The vast majority of web development was also done without jQuery in 2007 despite headlines on HN and reddit.

That did not mean jQuery wasn't better than the ugly ad-hoc kludges in vanilla JS most web developers used at the time.

Whether jQuery, which is written in vanilla JavaScript, was better or not has nothing to do with my point.
