  8. jQuery ! well maintained well tested

  9. jQuery ! avoid bugs (even in modern browsers)

  10. jQuery ! CDNs

  11. jQuery !

  13. jQuery ! Adds a dependency

  14. jQuery ! Can be overkill

  15. jQuery ! Can be painful to upgrade

  16. jQuery ! Solving their problems, not yours

  17. jQuery Plugins Same as jQ itself Sort of

  18. Ok, but how? youmightnotneedjquery.com youmightnotneedjqueryplugins.com microjs.com
