What's your "go-to" when you need to do a quick POC? Do you always start a new project with one of the modern frameworks, or do you go back to jquery from time to time?

By POC do you mean proof of concept? Sorry, I'm terrible with acronyms, lol..... but I usually stick it in my "Test" create-react-app generated application.

Indeed, that's what PoC stands for :)

:-) There is a whole world between JQuery and Hyped Frameworks.
Look at this one DML the new JQuery :-)

ExtJs. AKA Yahoo UI. It is as far from jQuery as it can be.

For me, if I it's too complex to do it quickly/easily with vanilla JS, I usually try and use whatever technology it should be written in later, and if that's not decided/known yet, I'd use svelte.
I like to use the framework it should end up in to increase the chance of discovering unexpected complications that come with a certain framework choice.

It's been so long since I've used any form of jQuery that it would probably take longer using it because I would most likely end up looking everything up again in the documentation. ^^'

Eventually it's a question of time. If it's a PoC and you just wanna make sure it works - use what ever language/tool/framework/lib that you can in order to finish it and make sure it works as you expect.
