quack quack quack... why reinvent the wheel, why not adopt a good, working system, why the need to do everything in a complicated way? give resig a big black suitcase full of money and implement his complexity reduction framework called jQuery into the standard. And fire the standards guys in the process, because what they do is shit. they most presumably never worked extensively with the shit they produce.
I'm not advocating complicated, I'm advocating lightweight. We should not be importing libraries left and right for our convenience to the detriment of the user.
If you are going to use many features of jQuery, then it makes sense to use it, but if it's only a matter of writing one or a with wrappers, then jQuery is overkill.
I don't have a strong opinion on the proposal described in the article.
