I have NOTHING against jQuery. I have the job now because of my knowledge of it. However, as I stated in the original post, I ONLY knew jQuery. In my learning true 'Vanilla' JavaScript, I found I favored the jQuery syntax (for readability and chain-ability).

(I've also been working on my own UI elements to get away from being dependent on jQueryUI.)

I'm working in Backbone, so completely getting rid of jQuery is NOT an option. I'm just tinkering and thought I'd share.
