You miss the point. The point is usability. This is actually very simple and it would be helpful to the average Internet user. So any ‘bloat’ from this plugin is minimal, considering that a lot of websites use jQuery anyway.

An interesting plugin… very interesting indeed. A great trick that many would notice when editing a field, yet I find this a waste.

Everything nowadays revolves around quick response and simplicity. Adding in extra unneeded code is just bloatware and slows the loading down as well as adding possible bugs.

Conclusion: I like it, but I personally wouldn’t use it.
