 You're right.  That doesn't solve the problem but at least it gets us
 closer.  Combine the filter with a simple plugin that uses it and some
 articles to let people know the solution is available, and you have
 something that many people COULD do themselves.

 I'm not sure exactly what the official stance is, but I actually think we
 DO want to be "encouraging that kind of copy/paste programming".  We want
 the barrier to entry to be low, and copying/pasting from tutorials and
 examples is how a lot of people get started.


 As for the $ issue, I think filosofo explained it well.  Not all code that
 uses the $ instead of jQuery is bad code.  $ is supposed to be an added
 convenience, so making use of it (especially for code examples, etc)
 doesn't really mean anything except that they were trying to make things
 easy.
