The only when I need jQuery-like API, is Cheerio, which doesn't manipulate DOM, but instead XML, based on htmlparser2.
A problem with jQuery, is it isn't strongly-typed in VSCode (@types/jquery doesn't make it that much better); unlike vanilla JS (and you don't have to install TypeScript or @types/* at all.)
Also, at some time, I have tried cash, an alternative to jQuery and in written in TypeScript. However, DOM tree on web browser, or at least JSDOM in Node.js is required. But mostly, I would say it doesn't help much.
