Precisely that. To in-the-loop JS developers, Bower is old news. To see Bower/Less/jQuery in 2016 conjures up images of out of touch backend developers living in 2011.
There are better alternatives available (NPM/PostCSS/vanilla.js to the above)
Anyway, I didn't really intend this library to be in-the-loop. I just did it because I couldn't find one I liked in 2016. Which is just nuts on itself. so I went all old-school and tried to keep cross-browser support high and make it simple. It took an hour to be done and a couple of them to test and document it (plus another couple of them for small details such as CDN, bugs/patchs/small features).
jQuery to me has the same connotations but I was surprised by Bower. As an out-of-the-loop sometime JS developer what's respectable these days, npm/gulp/sass, vanilla.js/react/angular2?
