Why do some people ask for JS without jQuery??? I constantly see, then make a popup without jquery, then a floating menu without jquery. Why didn't he please them?

Answer 1

Probably because they don't want to pull a library of 70k code for some little thing.

Answer 2

what kind of people? Vasya Pupkin, janitor?

Answer 3

If this is for an interview, then it's more likely to just check that the person speaks JavaScript, and not just jquery.

Answer 4

This is most likely due to the compatibility policy: $ is all cool because he takes care of it. Because of this (and not only) it turns out that $ shuts everyone up not with speed, but with flexibility and functionality.
It's possible that your "some people" are aware that in some cases tree traversal queries for $ can take up to 0.3 seconds and want to avoid it. For example, forcing you to write js exclusively for ff )
