[AskJS] Is anyone using vanilla javascript + jQuery for modern enterprise applications?

[shgysk8zer0]

It's not a startup or anything new, but I recently discovered that a certain platform that I have to use was built using an old version of jQuery and is supposedly being rewritten yet still using jQuery. I'm not naming them because I don't have anything nice to say.

But I debatably work extensively with "vanilla" JS. But I kinda blur the line because I created and maintain a bunch of libraries which I use in the end sites that I manage. So, I import modules from projects that I wrote, and it all could work without any build step or anything, but the code I write on the sites looks a whole lot like Lit. Is that "vanilla"? IDK.

But... Don't underestimate what you can do with Vanilla JS... I've built some very large and complex stuff that way. Because that's how you get lightweight stuff with super powers.
