#12So many JS frameworks, so little time...
Re: Vanilla JS, fast, lightweight, cross-platform framework
#13I would have liked a compatibility chart between this and the other frameworks.
All the others rely on this one, so it wouldn't be a very fair chart.

#14I love pure JavaScript. jQuery is overrated and most libraries are only good for one thing or the other, nothing can replace the joy and performance of Vanilla JS!
Re: Vanilla JS, fast, lightweight, cross-platform framework
#15Recently, I was interviewing a front-end developer candidate and I gave them a simple JavaScript problem. The sad thing was, they didn't recognize `document.getElementById()` and didn't know any of the parameters to `addEventListener()`. We finished the exercise assuming the example used jQuery instead.
It's a common problem nowadays I guess. I honestly don't remember the last time I worked on a project with plainjane javascript.
There always is either underscore or backbone or require or dojo or prototype or yui or jquery...
Don't really know if this is good or bad!

#16Fast and lightweight, yes. But vanilla-js is certainly not cross platform ;) You see, that's actually one of the biggest problems with JS and one of the main reasons why people use things like jQuery (apart from the pretty API..). That cross platform bit is the weakest link sigh .
jQuery API is not pretty

#17wow, the list of the companies using vanilla.js is impressive. if those put their trust in this framework, it surely must be good.

I'll take
$('p').text('Hello.')
for (var p in document.getElementsByTagName('p')) { p.innerHTML = 'Hello.'; }

Compared to the dom api, it is very pretty.

I'll take $('p').text('Hello.') over for (var p in document.getElementsByTagName('p')) { p.innerHTML = 'Hello.'; } any day!
innerHTML is an easy one, try setting an attribute -- you have to create a new attribute node, set its value and then add that to the element..
