Yes! Another happy new before the end of this beautiful year!
We have made it possible for DCL to work using pure JavaScript, without losing any features! That means from version 2.8 (Pro) and 10.1.4 (Free), disqus can work independent to jQuery. All our awesome features will work out of the box even if jQuery is loaded or not loaded :).
jQuery issues was there for few users from the first version itself. Now they can relax. Do update to the latest version and let me know if you require any clarification! Always happy to help.
