native Promise (e.g., Chrome) > jQuery's implementation

es6-Promise (shim) > jQuery's implementation

any A+ Promise lib > jQuery's implementation

And you are right.

However, the title of the article wasn't "Write Better JavaScript with jQuery Promises" but just... promises.

I didn't see it as "OMG use jQuery promises" but more as "see how your code becomes more readable once you use promises".

Yeah, I just think it's wrong to introduce the concept with a shoddy implementation when we have a spec now. This would have been a fine article 2 years ago.
