But to learn jQuery and check its documentation is much harder (in terms of time spending) than just use the Programming Language itself - JavaScript.
You don't need to learn any of modern techniques, you just need to know how to use the language without additional abstractions.
There is still the cases where doing something with JS harder than jQuery, but not so many.
It's pronounced Diane. I do data architecture, operations, and backend development. In my spare time I maintain Massive.js, a data mapper for Node.js and PostgreSQL.
Everything you've said is true! However, I do not need to learn jQuery, having learned it many years ago, and practically never need to reference its documentation since I'm not doing anything fancy with it. I am aware of document.querySelector and other such native functionality having become more generally available. I've used some of it in other projects where I was working with other people who knew this stuff well enough to make the call that we could do everything we needed without jQuery and ignore browsers that couldn't keep up.
I am not those people. This project might not need jQuery -- I would go so far as to say there's a good chance it doesn't -- but I'd much prefer to be consistent about using jQuery than the alternative.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
