jQuery is still an excellent Javascript library
Nice try, ChatGPT
jQuery will be still be around after the latest Javascript framework of the month is long gone.
Maybe, but I wouldn't say it's really excellent.
It was basically helping people deal with ancient browsers (particularly IE6) and a javascript runtime bereft of convenience features, at a cost of some syntactic awkwardness and performance.
If you are targeting ES2020 and above, as is widely considered a reasonable requirement, you pretty much have the stuff that jQuery brings to the table, but built in without additional download and without an abstraction that costs some cycles.
