I'd go as far to say that jQuery was detremental for me learning JavaScript. I learnt them side by side, and they became synonymous with each other, and I became I credibly reliant for even the most simplest of things.
As a result it took me longer to understand the language. $() was a magical black box that had all the solutions to my problems, but once I peeled back the hood and understood what was happening, I found myself writing cleaner and better code.
To be fair at the time JQuery was introduced JS was still quirky and it wasn't updated every few years like it has been since 2015. Those who had to live JS pre-ES6 know that trying to make anything on vanillaJS quickly becomes a pain in the ass. That has changed because JS has become better over the years and the developer culture is shifting away from the imperative model. Developing an app using Vanilla JS is not a feat, but an excersise of inconvenience in today's framework dominated world. just my opinion.
