A front-end developer from Mar del Plata, Argentina. Passionate about CSS, accessibility, and JS. Currently working on "just a small fix", as I've been doing for the last 15 years.
Well, I think jquery Is still a valid option when you just want to make a simple website, which makes for 99% of the websites out there. There's no need to go react or vue if you're not really gonna be building an app-like kind of thing.
JQuery gets too much undeserved hate lately, because some people that got a sort of addiction to it and can't code 3 lines of JavaScript without it.
Sure, it was much more relevant in the dark ages of CSS 2 and crappy js, but even today, it's a valid tool for some works.
The key is to know when and why use each tool. (Which btw, the post makes an awful job at)
If all you got is a hammer, all tasks will look like nails.
Sometimes vanilla js will do, sometimes you need to go with a modern framework like vue or react, and sometimes the good ol' jquery will work just fine. Heck, nowadays most of what we used jquery for back in the day can now be achieved with CSS 3 and the simplest event listeners
I might not use it anymore , but I refuse to speak badly of a tool that provided us with such a great experience in the past. Which also means we might have to maintain legacy jquery code for a long, long time.
