Agree. Even before getting into things like:
$(".classname").closest(".container").addClass("active”);
I do not get the hate over jquery, specially since frameworks like angular used (use?) to include a light version of it (sizzle or similar?) and methods like $httpParamSerializerJQLike, which does not scream of elegance.
I still remember when prototype.js was the default in rails, and jquery was so less overengineered and it just worked. It felt like magic.
