I've nothing against jQuery and I've used it for years but in learning Vue recently I'm starting to understand better why it's so hard to manage large codebases with jQuery and why these new frameworks are so interesting because they aim to solve this very problem from day one.

The other day while following a udemy course on Vue I said to myself "oh if I had this when I was developing that application" more than a few times and this is enough for me to be worth a serious look.

I don't know if Vue is the silver bullet (seldom frameworks are) but I'm quite sure it's going to make my life at least a little bit easier in the future.

This does not mean that jQuery is suddenly worthless and hype aside I do think some of these frameworks exist exactly because jQuery existed before them, I hope this make sense :-D
