To be fair vanilla jS was a NIGHTMARE a decade ago when it was the wild wild west of standards and every browser for itself.

To do anything required 20 lines of code testing for browser compatibility, and jquery took care of that.

Doing DOM modifications is still much more verbose than using jquery.
