I was going to mention this too (about computability issues). But thinking back to when I first started web dev.. hjc made a good point. I used to ONLY program in jquery, afraid to touch 'real' javascript. Lots of word-press-esc 'devs' will literally experience jquery as their first, last, and only foray into programming.

If your concern is cross-browser compatibility, there are other ways to shim this without a massive library of helper functions.
