I agree. How do you decide which of the many DOM attributes to turn into jQuery methods? All of them? Especially if they have different names than the DOM attributes. That is just confusing, unless the idea is that someone should be able to program only in jQuery and never have to touch the actual DOM. If you compare these: $(foo).tag() $(foo)[0].tagName The first looks shorter, but if we make it fair and use the same name: $(foo).tagName() $(foo)[0].tagName Then it's not much of a win. Hmm... Using the same name makes it confusing. Do I use parens after tagName or not? But using two different names makes it confusing too. Do I spell it tag or tagName? Is tag the same as tagName, just a passthrough, or does it do some actual processing ala .html()? I just don't see the value here.
