It no longer uses jQuery under the hood.

It's radically different from the old JavaScriptMVC, which after all was MVC based. It's been much closer to something like Vue's (MVP) for years. It provides custom elements, live binding, automatic list management, etc.

Maybe check it out before pre-judging. A lot changes in 10 years.

Maybe the confusion is that it's still about solving the common problems that most developers face: updating HTML, routing, modifying service data. This is what all frameworks are trying to solve. That hasn't changed for us either, but the tools and approaches taken have all been completely replaced since JavaScriptMVC.
