> in truth, post-IE8, browsers are pretty easy to deal with on their own

I totally agree, but not everyone lives in a post-IE8 world. It's as much as 10% of our traffic on some sites and several big clients use it.



That's why it's called You_Might_NotNeedJQuery. ;)


If you are developing a library, then your users _Might_ need to support old browsers and _Might_ need jQuery.


lots of js libs are for things like webgl that already dictate a recent browser.


and I care about wether my site works on Safari or Android 2.3 browsers. Will you fix all the "wont fix" DOM bugs for me?


Would be great if we could all stop recapitulating this, it's not helping
