Y'know, once CSS implemented animations, it really got me thinking about if jQuery is on its way out.

My final project for school was coded in Angular and I realized jQuery was clashing with it.

I've heard that Vue is the jQuery killer. Thoughts?

Not just Vue. ES6 standards in general make the majority of JQuery obsolete. The only thing JQuery is good for at this point is short cuts so you don't have to write as much code. Like I've said elsewhere, the problems JQuery solved aren't problems anymore. And we can also thank JQuery for that as well, as they both highlighted and fixed a lot of the stuff. Luckily for us, the ecmascript standards committee acknowledged it and now JS just natively does what a lot of JQuery does.
