I appreciate the benefit of not having dependencies but not a fan of this rabid vanilla fixation.

Of course you can do anything with Vanilla that you can do with e.g. jquery. Otherwise jquery obviously couldn't do it.

The problem is that the vanilla DOM API sucks. document.getElementById sucks vs $, document.querySelector sucks vs $. setTimeout and setInterval suck. addEventHandler really sucks.
