Me, I'm still using it as we speaking.

Why? I haven't learned about React or Vue (which I will do in the future). But currently I'm making a web app like reddit.

I want to finish the MVP soon enough, so I will just use what I know at the moment which are Laravel and jQuery.

I don't care if someone will call me old-fashioned developer just because I'm still using jQuery.

And btw, @ben , I've sent you my request through Private Message

There are dozens of us! I promise!

I still actively CHOOSE to use jQuery. Yes it's a dependency, but I find jQuery a lot easier to read and code in than vanilla JS.
