Aside from pages where plain javascript is enough I would argue that vue.js in many cases would be an easier replacement for a jQuery app. No need for webpack, build chain and so on - just include it like jQuery and be able to use a modern (what ever that means) framework.
Yup. Riot.js is also a great option
Next thing, you're going to say you don't use React to generate static pages. -_-
Vue is great as well, I haven't tried it personally, only glanced over it a bit, because React clicked with me so I stuck with it. For anyone looking to replace jQuery with Vue I highly recommend following @sarah_edo on twitter

Yep, that one was a gem, you could say I'm a bit late to the game, I was kept in the back end dungeon for too long :D
React is becoming "the old way" already. Time for another blog post.
