Of course, when Microsoft decided to abandon the whole thing and the competition (i.e. Mozilla) continued working on it, IE slowly lost these advantages.
So, down the line there were certainly also technological reasons why people were not too fond of it, but most of the dislike originated from said anti-Microsoft ideology. Of course, we are speaking here about 20ish years ago.
That being said, the dependency insanity which became commonplace with JavaScript becoming more accepted as backend language is a different story of course.
Was it left-pad? :)
Tell HN: Google does not list application permissions in the Play Store any more
https://postimg.cc/6y3Z9yjYThey had implemented that already a while ago, then reverted the behaviour, and now implemented it once again.It seems as if it was not "enabled" for everyone yet, however.They hid the permissions with each version better and better and apparently decided now, users don't need them at all.
However there is a screenshot - https://ibb.co/K7JDsZ4
Google just censored more “undesired” media
Just a couple of minutes ago (around 8:45pm GMT) Google removed the Youtube channel of the two Russians who called Ben Wallace and Priti Patel and posed as Prime Minister of Ukraine - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7aFhtshxOnaqioFAJ0ZSvASay whatever you want about the stunt itself but nothing in there was made up or falsified. They actually even redacted certain parts of the conversation...
> But the US has said it will not pressure Ukraine to negotiate and has even discouraged it from negotiating. State Department spokesperson Ned Price seemed to suggest that Ukraine continue to fight and Ukrainians continue to die rather than ending the war by negotiating

The question really only is whether the allegations have mentioned merit or not. If the situation was reversed it would be the same of course.

Google out to annoy its users
It seems Google chose 9/11 to start annoying its users.As of today it would seem they have mandatory modal dialogs on google.com as well as on youtube.com.The one on google.com is a cookie prompt, Youtube asks you to log in.
Currently, however, the domain does not point to these nameservers but to ns3.aqadvisor.com and ns4.aqadvisor.com instead. DNS glue appears to be present for these two servers, however they themselves do not consider themselves authoritative for the domain (and don't return their own names) but only refer to bizprime again.
The whole DNS setup is somewhat broken and needs fixing by the site owner.
Libraries were added manually by legions of developers long before one thought he'd need to create a downloadable left-pad "package".
The whole package management issue is overrated.

A lot, that required or semi-required jQuery before can now be done with vanilla JavaScript, however jQuery is still going strong with invoking code on sets of elements as well as cascading calls.
jQuery has been a fantastic library and deserves all the praise, however a lot of its functionality has made it by now into the language itself.
To answer your direct questions, I couldnt think of any "issues", at worst you download an additional 30 kilobytes (gzipped) but with today's mentality of megabytes and megabytes for websites, that really shouldnt matter much. As for advantages, as mentioned, JavaScript did take over a lot of functionality, but as direct advantages I'd consider aforementioned features. Additionally, there certainly is also still a lot of libraries/plugins which depend on jQuery.
The goal of making applications is to have a piece of software at the end. That piece of software is the solution to the problem you have.
Actually, in that very sentence of yours you explicitly repeated what I already wrote
