Does jQuery cause you to write imperative spaghetti or is that just the DOM API? It is a utility library and mistaking it for an application framework will...lead to frustration

I don't have this confusion but I've seen a lot of people using it for big applications and a lot of clients ask for it even if they don't know what it's doing. It's not for big applications , that's what I said, and you say that it's not even made for this purpose, I think that's logical. And yes, I think it may lead to frustration when "mistaking it for an application framework" so that's why I'm trying to avoid this frustration.
As I said in other comments, yeah, jQuery may slove some problems but I choose not to use it for the reasons I've mentioned it. I have a bigger picture of the problem after this discussion and comments like yours, Thanks Alan for your comment ♥
