    dropdown menus should be abandoned since they
    rely heavily on the hover state
Not all drop-down menus are opened by hovering. Not even close.

Further, a menu with a responsive design, such as the following, negates the need to abandon anything:

I ran some tests on this menu. It fails on android 2.3.x and 4.x. Also does it really need JS to function properly. No it doesn't, CSS already has all the features needed.
