I <3 jQuery but, no.

What no? Why can't we have nice things, like concise, easy to remember, not overly elaborate syntax?

  • jQuery is large and contains a lot of things. Which specific features do you think the DOM needs?

    • From bevr1337's comment, above:

      > its API was a reflection of the domain. As a developer, I want to query for a node (CSS selector, xpath, etc.) to affect change and traverse to other nodes

      That's what I miss about it.
