I think that's probably sound advice. Look at how many people for years couldn't build any sort of project without jQuery - we now have a situation where it's hardly ever necessary, but still widely used as a dependency or for basic DOM manipulation that could be done easily without it, and if you search for some functionality you'll have to wade through a sea of jQuery plugins to find a library-agnostic solution.
