On: 10th Anniversary of JQuery

I think what a lot of folks frown upon about "jQuery" (sometimes without realizing) is using the DOM as your data model. I.e. state is only stored in text, attributes, tags, etc. - and apps quickly turn to crap due to the complexities of back and forth data binding, etc. It's not really about jQuery, just that style of coding.

Yeah for sure, I think it's mainly a lack of structure which has also been solved in various forms, none of which necessarily prevail.
