I've been following the javascript questions here for the last few weeks, and I've found a common recurring theme.
Almost any question asked on here that involves JavaScript gets answered with:
- "jQuery can do that"
- "there's a plugin for that"
- "jQuery can make your bed for you."
Even questions referencing other libraries are answered by saying "Use jQuery instead".
Is jQuery replacing JavaScript as a whole?
This is a serious question. Are we really looking at JavaScripts future. Obviously this community has a strong bias towards jQuery (is that because there's alot of .NET developers?), but does the web development community as a whole share this bias?
