Interesting article, objective, useful, and well-supported. I really liked the part on event delegation.
One thing I’m noticing is a schism in the developer community around conflicting sets of standards (performance, aesthetics, reusability).
For example, though inserting inline HTML for DOM manipulaiton may be the fastest method, I recently was turned down an interview because a code sample did just this (which was a violation of separation of concerns or some such philosophical thing).
