Most of OP&#x27;s complaints come from the misuse of JQuery, including compounded performance issues when paired with a SPA framework (in this case Ember, which IIRC has a dependency on JQuery either way). Slow + Slow = More slow.<p>Honestly it&#x27;s a library. Use it, don&#x27;t use it, replace it, it honestly isn&#x27;t worth a million identical arguments. People like to use JQuery as a microcosm for bad javascript practices but guess what JQuery didn&#x27;t make you do it! It&#x27;s just a library.<p>There is no real reason to avoid JQuery. Sure you should, as a good developer, explore alternative solutions for different problem sets. Maybe those alternatives become the standard for your team, maybe they don&#x27;t. But unless you made a meaningful discovery that can add to the conversation, you don&#x27;t need to make another blog post about it. Ugh.
