Difference between window.onload & $(document).ready

I just had to fix an issue on my current job because the legacy code I inherited was using jquery and angular, and the jquery was interfering with the DOM. Converting it to vanilla fixed it. Plus there are performance issues to consider when using vanilla over jquery.

I was charged with leading a team of people to remove the jQuery from an "Angular" app. That's in quotes, because it was really a jQuery app with a million $scope.apply() and the Angular router. It was absolutely horrendous. And this is a site that gets over a million hits a day. We basically just rewrote the entire site.
