You can't compare those.

jQuery is mostly a compatibility layer on top of shitty browser APIs. Turns out things evolved since IE6 and you might not need jQuery (nor anything else).

Now if you want to make non-trivial front-end interactions then you'll find that a framework like Vue helps a lot. Because it will render a state into DOM, you don't need to worry about cleaning up things all the time. Also, Vue can be inserted progressively into your front-end and does not require any toolchain. It's lighter and more convenient than jQuery to build apps!
