If you're in the market for a Bootstrap Treeview you're likely already using Bootstrap and therefore jQuery.

Your comment reflects exactly the kind of attitude that puts people off doing open source work. No one is forcing you to use this project, someone put effort into making this and released it to the world for free, what does your criticism add?

It's a problem with HN - Since the average user can't downvote, these trash troll comments stay at the top and derail any conversation, when they should just be insta-downvoted into oblivion.

You're totally right, but everyone should just ignore the idiot troll and move on.

There is no way to know if its a troll or a noob or just a kid trying to learn web development who doesn't know what bootstrap is and has probably heard that external dependencies are typically bad.

Is that true if you are using it as part of a react or vue application? I know, for example, that bootstrap-vue replaces the jquery dependency with Vuejs[1]. I'd guess the react equivalent is similar.
