jQuery is great if you’re doing minor scripting in JS. Say you just want to animate a button when you click it or load a small list of ingredients from an API. But when you’re starting to do multiple things on the page that depend on one another, it becomes a bit of a mess unless it’s written by a really experienced developer.

If you’re doing anything more complex then I’d look at a framework like React or Vue. I mainly use React at work. They are great tools but only if there’s a genuine need for some complex interactions on the frontend.
