I prefer semicolon.js, more secure and reliable :) https://github.com/madrobby/semicolon.js

I don't know... It has no tests, no generators, no ports. Not that realiable to me. :)

The features generator is a nice touch.

I would have liked a compatibility chart between this and the other frameworks.

Fast 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.

Recently, 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.
