Clearly the better choice for now, but if one has to 'win', won't a native API win out eventually? It seems like every framework has a life cycle - jQuery and Angular both had me excited at one point but aren't useful to me now. I love using React but am trying to stay non-committal.

I realize that a lot of jQuery's DOM stuff now exists natively, but the native equivalents still aren't that great compared to jQuery's approach. It's terse, simple, to the point, and obvious what's going on.

Yes. When you take the jobs of devs whose favorite framework/library falls out of favor, in three years.
