And you're arguing the complexity that has to be somewhere should go in your custom built jQuery modules instead of components built with a well-known framework?
I spent years maintaining front-end code built by devs who believe their way of doing things was better than what's popular in the industry and I disagree about jQuery entirely.
jQuery is a low level tool and always ends up biting people as the project grows.

jQuery + the DOM are well known frameworks. ;P
Reasoning about the DOM structure has almost never been an issue in my almost 20 years of professionally doing this junk. The complexity has always been elsewhere.
