I feel like very few people must be using jQuery nowadays, but I suppose this is good news for those who still are.
I have some old sites that use minimal JavaScript that I never plan on moving to a modern framework. Probably should upgrade them though lol.
Honestly was thinking about using jQuery + UI. For a really simple SPA just for fun.
Never really used apart of being forced for money.
The vast majority of (smaller) websites that I see still use it, I'd say it's very much alive
Pretty much all WordPress sites still use it and that's a CMS that runs almost 40% of online sites.
That’s incredible !!! 🤯🤯🤯
Well, THAT wasn't on my bingo card. More power to 'em, I guess.
I never really understood the appeal of jQuery, it doesn't do anything that you can't do natively, and it's not like it does any of the things it DOES do significantly better than native. Just not worth the cost of adding a dependency, for me.
jQuery 4. 20 years later..
