Like any smart dev, I use both. JQuery does exactly what it says. It queries stuff, and the stuff being DOM elements. Manipulating DOM is one of the most useful things about JavaScript, but JQuery makes it easy. In my opinion there really aren't any disadvantages to JQuery, if it's used for the problem it's designed to solve then I don't see the problem(get it 😂), otherwise it's like saying that seat belts are crappy because they won't do a thing if you get t-boned by a truck.
