jQuery definitely has a very neat API, but a lot of that API has been ported into the standard runtime (think sizzle etc), I haven't really found myself reaching back for jQuery when dealing with DOM modifications rather than the standard API (though I have to admit that adding a bunch of DOM elements can be cumbersome, that's usually the sign you're in need of something more template-like like Vue, Svelte etc when you don't need a full SPA)
