Issues when user use this on image gallery, etc

[drizzlecloudy]

Hi @gnarf , Im sorry i can't provide example, but, logically, when user use the usual setInterval or setTimeout along with this jquery requestAnimationFrame, their gallery would fail when the tab is inactive.
When tab inactive, jquery animation will stop, but the turn of setInterval/setTimeout would continue.

The solution is by providing 'drop-in' replacement for setInterval and setTimeout. Here is the link https://github.com/drizzlecloudy/draf (It also fixes the issues on iOS 6 & 7)

This issue is exactly why requestAnimationFrame is not in jQuery Core, preferring the native setTimeout

If you read the README.md you can see that I specifically note that this is a problem end-users should be aware of.

IMO - setInterval and setTimeout loops to queue animations are generally results of bad code organization and should be avoided at all cost.
