JQuery when it's feasible since it's been on the market for so long, some things are just easier in JQuery, although I'm using vanilla JS in some other situations, for example I'm using vanilla JS in my Chrome / Firefox extensions injected into web pages, because it's easier and does the job just fine. I this the hate towards JQuery is a bad thing, I've seen some benchmarks that does like 1 million iterations of simple things, but who does that on a web page? Nobody. JQuery is just a tool, and a pretty good one.
