By WebReflection:

I believe the difference is between "easy + fast" against "consistent + reliable"
Developers are attracted by the first group, then they gonna have problems once they encounter the second one.
Since they were to lazy to simply use JS to do common tasks and they chose a library which aim is to bring those tasks everywhere in a normalized way, I would reconsider the "not everybody should be affected" by some code that weights nothing, compared with the whole library which aim is to "let developers forget how to do these things in a cross platform/browser way".

200 minzipped ain't excuse to drop a reliable *feature* ... just my 2 cents.
