I always find it funny that links like “you don’t need jQuery” seem like jQuery advertisement to me.

The jQuery examples are always cleaner, shorter, more intuitive.

Yes, they're effectively the same, but one is slightly more ergonomic, and the other saves you 30KB (which isn't much, in my opinion) and the pain of managing yet another dependency.

Its only 30k until your project gets large enough that the jquery terseness makes up the difference.
