Evaluate removal of jquery

[evilaliv3]

In latest developement i've been able to remove any explicit use of jquery so that it would be interesting to evaluate it's removal as it represent 200kb of not used code.

we are currently using it for the following two things:

1. angularjs uses jquery if it finds it; instead if it not find it it uses a small implementation jqlite that they developed. i've not found any reference that clarify mee if it's better for compatibility reasons or not, but i do not think so (https://docs.angularjs.org/misc/faq)
2. we use it for the error messages fadeout implemented by @hellais

Which is the problem in having jquery?

I do not see performance issues

[evilaliv3]

it's not a matter of having performance issues, it's a matter of including libraries not used at all and that wheight 200kb. i'm just questioning what is the reason to keep that?

[evilaliv3]

anyway this is totally not a priority, just question.

Jquery is dead since a while!
