Yeah. I've just taken to ignoring those responses.

As far as I'm concerned, jQuery & lodash are part of the "standard library". Certainly there are cases where one or the other isn't needed for a particularly application. But if you're doing anything with the DOM, or doing anything more complex than simple if/then callbacks, you're either using them or you're reimplementing them bit by bit.

Certainly jquery has some... warts... but I haven't seen any project emerge that's succeeded at being a cleaned up replacement. And jquery 3.0 looks like it's trying to forge ahead in that direction itself.

(Still hate jquery's inconsistent ajax callback signatures. sigh.)
