I originally used it to solve browser compatibility, and it also helped make the language easier to read (for me!).
Fast forward 10 years, the C# MVC project I was working on is heavily split between backend (API) and frontend (Javascript). Sticking to what I know, there is heavy use of jQuery (also to replace a commercial control library). Eventually I realise this is beyond what it was made for and I'm re-inventing wheels or looking for plugins to help.
These days I get to use Angular, which has it's faults, but I refuse to drop back to the comfortable arms of jQuery, because I'm not having the problems it was originally solving for me.
I have trememndous respect for jQuery, but my coding style and needs have moved on.
