It is apparent that there is a lot of bias towards JQuery, and perhaps JavaScript as well. It would have been informative if this article had referenced the number of Fortune 1000 sites that use JQuery as compared to Node.js. To reference only a "few" doesn't tell the entire story....

Agreed. jQuery is defanitly a needed skill to know if you are going to be doing web dev. If we tried to list all the websites using jQuery I think we would run out of room on the list. "According to recent research by W3Techs, jQuery is now used on half of all websites worldwide. The popular JavaScript library has come a long way since John Resig’s Selectors in Javascript blog post in 2005." We actually met John Resig, founder of jQuery, at a meet up and he admitted to not using jQuery in years and only using React on a daily basis for what ever that is worth.

Interesting that the JQuery creator moved on eh? Of course, the history of software has always been about the "next great thing" hasn't it? Anybody remember APL now?
I enjoyed your article, and responded only because I am still a big fan of JQuery.

I enjoy using JQuery as well. I am pretty sure every single programing language out there gets a bad wrap by someone else. Don't listen to the trolls .... do what makes you happy and gets the job done!
The reason for using jquery on sites is very simple "All css frameworks don't have libs for every js framework or lib but jquery", so to me, it doesn't make sense to have jQuery in an angular app just because i want a modal from bootstrap and other beauties from angular. In that case I would rather stick to using jQuery and jQuery alone.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.

I'd say that being able to spell would be the primary skill for any job. "My rabbit has one ear and he's def in it"
