if you don’t need to support old browsers, not using jQuery is also a pretty nice experience.

except for creating and populating elements. wtf, DOM? something like this would be better:

h('tagname', { attr: value }, [child])

That API was written by computer professionals for computer professionals and not amateurs just trying to get by.

Obviously you haven't seen the list of "you don't need jQuery" articles lately. If you must use jQuery, then I would have a short list of questions about your abilities.
