Huh? The first 2 pages (at least) of that search seemed to complain
about the lack of consistency in support among different browsers, not
about the supposed "failure" of the longer DOM method names. [1]
Can't say it much better than
"DOM sucks, and JavaScript uses DOM. DOM is heavy and unintuitive."
Result 6, from kde.org. Many results do complain about
interoperability. A good indication of where our priorities should
lie.
I think that the substance of that critique is about the functionality
and the implementation (memory and speed) footprint of DOM. We're not
talking about changing the functionality of Selectors, we're merely
asking that the *method name* is more consistent and descriptive.
The actual functionality of Selectors is well-designed. What's the big
deal with changing a name to be more clear? I'm really surprised that
there is such resistance to what seems like the majority view,
reinforced by the considerable experience of the IE team.
