So it's been 10 years of jQuery being a preferred way of interacting with the DOM API...where are the changes to the DOM API to make the DOM easier like jQuery? Sure we got a few new things like querySelectorAll(), etc but nothing that makes things quite as elegant to create as jQuery's API.
Why wouldn't the HTML standards committees follow the trend and improve the API?
Edit: removed 'chainable' as a descriptor of jQuery's API as I didn't mean to focus on it; was simply just calling its API chainable but it's led to confusion.
