Remove underscore dependency?

[samstr]

Is there any plan to remove the underscore dependency?

My gulpfile is getting bigger and bigger. Currently it compiles to 588 KB minified (quite big)

var src = {
  scripts: [
    // 3rd party components
    'bower_components/jquery/dist/jquery.js',
    'bower_components/underscore/underscore.js',
    'bower_components/angular/angular.js',
    'bower_components/angular-route/angular-route.js',
    'bower_components/angular-animate/angular-animate.js',
    'bower_components/angular-strap/dist/angular-strap.js',
    'bower_components/angular-strap/dist/angular-strap.tpl.js',
    'bower_components/angular-google-maps/dist/angular-google-maps.js',
    'bower_components/ngprogress/build/ngProgress.js',

Feels odd for me to include both jquery and underscore in the same project, but maybe not?

Just putting it out there.

No plans, I am a big fan of lodash or underscore. It eliminates tons of redundant code.

jQuery could possibly go away, but there have been problems on testing without it.

Use the minified versions.

Using the minified versions reduced the end filesize by 200K. Thanks. I had assumed there would be no difference since I'm running things through gulp-uglify anyway.. but there was a significant improvement.
