While jQuery has been anything but a "trend" for many years now (thanks to the many updates to ECMAScript, thanks to frameworks like Angular, Vue, and React, and last but not least thanks to Babel making it possible to actually use the current JavaScript / ECMAScript core language features without having to care much about browser compatibility), it is still widely used according to the 2021 Web Almanac: "jQuery remains the most popular library, used by a staggering 84% of mobile pages. React usage has jumped from 4% to 8% since last year."
Retro themes like your cPanel screenshot spark some kind of nostalgia in me. I am far from glorifying "good old days" (mostly everything is better about web development than it used to be then, and I don't even miss coding in Perl) but I had been younger and the emerging possibilities of the web still seemed newer and more exiting to me.
Another retro example is the backend of Shopware 5, an e-commerce software / framework based on Symfony. Besides their current version, Shopware 5 is still officially supported and widely used, but they never changed the backend design:
Last (and least!) homepage slideshow carousels seem to polarize for years. I don't know any web developers who like them, there have been many articles and studies about bad usability and useless marketing effects, but still customers, and even more so, design agencies seem to love carousels. I just finished an article where I reviewed a carousel component with the same feeling like when will designers finally stop requiring carousel sliders?! 🤷😆
