Here one of the authors :) Your comments made us happy and made us to make the library better.
According to these comments we dropped jQuery dependency and it's purely vanilla.
And about the CSS dependency, we think an external stylesheet doesn't make things make fatter or harder but cleaner and extensible. And the external CSS which Bricklayer has is not mandatory which you can simply change. You can think of it as a default styling.
That's awesome! I've starred this and will think about using it next time I'm working with a grid layout. Thanks also for responding so gracefully to feedback. :)
