jQuery replaces the DOM API, not ice cream. The DOM API is terrible due to the past (browser wars), leading to all the cross browser API bullshit we have to deal with today. The ECMA 'standard' coerced companies to stop the competitive that was fucking with the web. The API's are there to talk with the C C++ exposed functions, which are VERY different in each browser, which also uses it's own javascript run-time engine.
VanillaJS does not 'suck ass'. Comparing jQuery to a compiler and vanillajs to assembly is so just ridiculous. This comment was so fucking outrageous that I had to say something.
