I still use it on the regular! Sometimes it's just quicker and easier to use jQuery rather than using vanilla js. If I'm building some big complicated build I look at taking a better approach than jQuery but for a simple 1-5 page website jQuery is the way to go! Idc what the JavaScript police say! Lol

This is my point of view as well. I use jQ all the time for quick updates for clients or small projects. Yes we use modern frameworks like React, but a lot of our clients are on WordPress sites or similar. It's fast and easy for DOM manipulation and I don't see a reason to toss it out just because it's not the latest toy.
