Was this double :( a response to the fact that jQuery is available and shouldn't have needed to be? Or because you just wrote 6 lines of javascript when you could have written 1?

I read it as the first, and had this immediate reaction:

- I'd rather write the 1 line of jQuery over the 6 in vanilla javascript

- I'd rather read the 1 line of jQuery to understand what is going on instead of the 6 in vanilla javascript

- jQuery didn't actually impact your experience much... as you didn't realize it might even be available.
