I checked this and it is an opinionated BS.

You can't just replace $.fn.ready with a 'DOMContentLoaded' event. 'DOMContentLoaded' is not supported in a older versions of IE.

Also what if instead of this: "var newDiv = $('<div/>')" I need this: "var newDiv = $('<div data-bar="true">Some text<div class="foo"/><')"?

So overall that post is comparing apples to oranges.
