I recently discovered jQuery, and I can immediately see how useful and elegant it is.

I’m curious, though – are there any reasons NOT to use it (and just use plain old JavaScript instead)? If there aren’t any reasons, should it not be integrated fully into the JavaScript language?

    are there any reasons NOT to use it

    • There are better libraries.
    • It adds page weight (and for small projects that weight is often more costly then the benefits)

    should it not be integrated fully into the Javascript language?

    Most of what jQuery does is related more to DOM than JavaScript.
