Booooooooooo. Bootstrap is the most popular CSS/UI framework on the planet. I don't get why they continue to depend on jQuery while most modern app frameworks are abandoning it...

Like which? Ember continues to depend on it. Angular uses a lightweight version. I don't think there's a lot of interest in reinventing the wheel as far as cross-browser JS libraries go.

Angular by default is not using jQuery. They have a convenience layer that is similar to the jQuery-API called jqLight. But if you use Angular in the right way you usually don't need to access the DOM with these methods.

I guess Backbone uses jQuery too.

The most popular UI framework using the most popular UI library? I don't see the problem.
