I do. jQuery for life.

It is one of the easier ways to start working with DOM manipulation.

I've chose to use jQuery because of team constraints (me the only dev), money and time.

React or other SPA frameworks might be better but limitations make it not possible to work with them even when React would make the job easier at sometime.

Also, working a lot of time with jQuery have made me realize what SPA libraries would help me with in terms of easing DOM manipulation.

Finally, I'd still choose jQuery over other libraries when limitations and restrictions dictate.
