We are quite aware of that. You will notice how we use native JavaScript
functionality in methods that are called heavily (in the framework or
userland code). But, when we have this line that runs just once:
$w("foo bar baz").each(function(){ ... })
... then speed improvement gained by rewriting this into native JavaScript
is negligible. We sacrifice a millisecond or two for style.

On the other hand, we don't see a valid argument for using them :)
