> I've never had a case where I didn't know the reason or mechanism by which an element would be hidden.

Unfortunately, I usually don't keep the whole codebase in my head (including libraries), so I often don't know the reason.

The more general point is that I don't want to have to know, because the mechanism of how it is hidden is not what I care about.

> It's not quite as succint as your jquery, but you also could have written this.

Yes, it's more than three times as long as the jQuery variant.



Ok, I get it. Fair points. I'm not a jquery hater. In a lot of cases, I'd rather write jquery than react for instance.
