(author here)

Thank you for your kind words and effort to engage in respectful discourse, even though we disagree. It is appreciated.

I found it, it's next to your comment.

You must be new here on HN, we usually like to discuss things instead of calling them names. Mind sharing your opinions instead of just saying it's shitty?

What? I think it's really good!! because it has a lot of good methods and such.

The article is filled with "unnecessary methods and such" , because you reffed to the article.

If you mean jQuery , then maybe the functions you don't use others use, give some examples , the most I use daily are attr,css, find, parent, wrap,unwrap,parents,each, filter,toArray, remove, append, after etc (my project gets a ton of possible broken html or html with garbage and I clean it up)

So now you're editing your comments so they say something completely different, eh? how nice...

As of writing this comment the account in question is only 1 hour old. Maybe there should be some kind of time limit before account can comment. Anyway the account is obviously a throwaway created to troll this thread. Just ignore it.

Well you should elaborate more, you might get downvoted to oblivion yourself.

You should at the very least comment on what exactly you found "shitty" about the article, giving the benefit of the doubt and a means for the author to be better.

I find HN downvote system many times misused, but your comment is the perfect example of a one deserving of negative feedback

Not at all, it makes fair arguments.

I may not agree with modern js+dom manipulation being awkward (it's different, but no more awkward to me than jQuery), but I can see the argument.
