Did we read the same article? The one I read promoted eating fruit over drinking juice:
"Juice removed from the fruit is just concentrated fructose without any of the naturally-occurring fiber, pectin, and other goodies that make eating a whole fruit good for you [...] So, my first piece of advice is to get out of the juice habit altogether. It’s expensive, and it’s not worth it."

I'm all in favor of anything that puts upgrade pressure on users of IE 6 and 7, but this rolling "current and previous major releases" idea is silly. They should simply establish minimum browser requirements like everybody else and update them when it makes sense to, not arbitrarily leaving it to whenever the browser makers release new versions.
Why would I use this over Sizzle in those cases? http://sizzlejs.com/
e.g. Sizzle('div:first')
Wow, I've never seen anyone do this before: <script src="//usecharm.com/silk.js">

Seeing as you opened most of those issues only 5 hours ago, I think you meant to say "the library is full of problems", no?
But they are supporting XP, until 2014. And they've extended "downgrade rights" to XP Professional until 2020.
In my few months with Couch I've found it to live up to its "relax" motto, at least until I hit pagination. What you have to go through will seem grotesque to anyone coming from SQL.
