Comment on You will probably need jQuery

Comments

I only really want jQuery core most of the time, and then only because I'm supporting IE7, which does not support ECMAscript 5.

It is often simpler to reuse this functionality that people have worked on optimizing across a large number of browsers than it is to spend the time to reimplement that functionality myself. I can better spend that time getting a new feature working.
