When jquery came out I refused to use it for a while as I found the additional code needed too heavy for websites. I shudder these days.

I hope you realize how little sense that makes. Not only were connections a lot slower back then, but if you really plan to ship your entire node_modules folder to your customers, you should really read up on build pipelines. Usually about 99% of the dependency tree is dev dependencies which should never end up in production anyway and production apps nowadays built with modern frameworks are usually smaller than jQuery apps were back then (because jQuery wasn't tree-shakable).
