I think all of this recent Jquery hate is just odd. Suddenly it's not cool to use a 'old' relatively lightweight javascript library just because it's not sexy and anyone who does is writing code equivalent to vomit?
Jquery might not be as sexy from a developers standpoint lately. But from a business standpoint, code maintainability, and just basic... Get Shit Done Standpoint. I think its worth all 92ko's in allot of cases.
It's not about being sexy, like "rhymes" I have nothing against jQuery , I used it for many projects, but if you're going to use it for simple apps ti would be expensive for performance, and if you're going to make a big app, it's going to be messy and hard to be maintained because it encourages throwing spaghetti code.
I've nothing against jQuery and I've used it for years but in learning Vue recently I'm starting to understand better why it's so hard to manage large codebases with jQuery and why these new frameworks are so interesting because they aim to solve this very problem from day one.
The other day while following a udemy course on Vue I said to myself "oh if I had this when I was developing that application" more than a few times and this is enough for me to be worth a serious look.
I don't know if Vue is the silver bullet (seldom frameworks are) but I'm quite sure it's going to make my life at least a little bit easier in the future.
This does not mean that jQuery is suddenly worthless and hype aside I do think some of these frameworks exist exactly because jQuery existed before them, I hope this make sense :-D

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.

And VanillaJS doesn't? How large are Vue and React nowadays? What happened to Angular and Backbone?
