In my sparetime I do not use jQuery. But in my professional work day, it has to be on my toolbelt because our company is supporting applications with over 10+ years lifecycles (public sector clients). So there is no way around jQuery because back in the day what else did we have?
Do I expect this to be refactored? No, unless a customer asks us to do so and pays that job. But why should someone do that? Customers pay for working products - and the product does well with jQuery.
