Next.js or Nuxt.js for rapid development.

JSX is good; and React is not the only JSX framework. Vue 3 can also use JSX well.

I expect any JS framework to be ephemeral. All will die early.

You think so? You don't believe that the monumental popularity that these frameworks have today will cause them to linger for a while? I mean the only reason jQuery is even relevant today is because there remains a great number of projects that used it some years ago. What would "kill" a framework like React or Vue so soon and allow a library like jQuery to live for so long?

I think jQuery lived because of web browser wars; and ES6 and Webpack replaced it.

Right now, you can actually code fine with vanilla JS. Going for something new would be ES dev server or Vite, but I can really bet on it yet.

I agree. You can code fine with vanilla JS. That's exactly my point.

jQuery is essentially redundant at this stage, but it remains relevant because of its past popularity.

I think it is likely that the comparable popularity of these JS frameworks will prevent them from dying out quickly—even if they become replaceable.
