I'm actively using it for a number of reasons. I have been selling/maintaining a SAAS application for a very niche market for the past decade. jQuery works, is actively maintained, and I know how to use it.

Occasionally when completely refactoring a section I try to write vanilla JS but most of the application is jQuery. My customers don't know the difference so trying to strip out jQuery in order to replace it with whatever happens to be the newest and most shiny really makes zero business sense.
