I also noticed that the w3css framework is "pure CSS no javascript". Well
not quite, the framework is defined in 100% pure CSS but you still need to
use javascript, for example, to invoke and hide a modal.
But the interesting thing is that, unlike pretty much every other framework
out there, it doesn't require jQuery.
And I'm thinking that, perhaps, browsers are now standardized enough that
maybe we should do as youmightnotneedjquery.com suggests, and just write
directly
to the DOM, and make calls directly to xmlhttprequest(). Is anyone still
using a browser older than IE 9? Probably so few that we don't really need
to support them.
That's another reason why WebCit is being rebuilt from the ground up. There
is just so much cruft in there from the browser wars, we couldn't possibly
strip it all out in a reasonable amount of time. We now have the luxury of
being able to write to the standards.
