Does anyone code in pure javascript anymore?
<p>The title pretty much sums it up. I went to a javascript meetup recently and the object was to do some simple effects on various events. Everyone used jquery. Which made the project take about 2 minutes. That is, admittedly, not a bad thing, and exactly why the library was made. </p>

<p>I hear a lot of complaints on SO about the overuse and annoying ubiquity of jquery, much of which I understand when it comes to using it unnecessarily for really simple stuff. Or, perhaps more likely, complaints stem from learning jquery first. I don't know, even my David Flanagan Rhino Book is packed with jquery.</p>

<p>Honestly, does anyone still code in pure JavaScript?</p>
