I apologize if I wasn't clear enough, what I meant to say is that projects have different needs, some have footprint priorities while for others the footprint is not relevant. Getting a PoC up and running in 1-2 hours without having to involve node etc for instance and avoiding an additional layer of complications is a good example, where you want to either go with vanilla js or if you need a little extra power for more complex stuff jQuery is still a great fit. Again it comes down to the case and it's certainly not something to use in enterprise anymore, (if you are considering jquery over a robust framework the footprint is the least of your concerns in my opinion)
