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?

:-) 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.

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 :)

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.
