Come on, it's not realistic to load a big library just because DOM API is "too long". Create some helpers if you care about the character counts.

Regarding, querying API has "too many kinds", all other queries are possible by just using querySelectorAll.

I think this article was meant as a joke, but I do agree that creating some helpers is better than loading in a library that also handles many other things.

27 kb gzipped is a big library? Nonsense.
