Bootstrap 5 will remove jQuery as a dependency
This PR is massive and represents a year and a half of work. If you look at the comments you see there are loads of browser-specific issues being fixed. IE support was dropped as they didn't feel making stuff compatible (jQuery did that for them before).<p>The API is also incompatible; in the words of one dev: "we broke everything".<p>As one of the commenters pointed out, a lot of stuff was copied from jQuery to make it work.<p>In other words, this entire effort seems of dubious benefit to me. Whereas before it was "jQuery for EVERYTHING", now it seems to be the reverse: "remove jQuery from EVERYTHING", which is equally silly. jQuery does a lot of useful stuff, and al things considered remains a pretty neat project. It shouldn't be used for <i>everything</i>, but spending loads of time in removing it just because it's no longer the kwel fr4m3wr0k of teh week just seems like a waste of effort.
