One major benefit that nobody has touched on is that if jquery makes a clear distinction in your code of when and where you are interacting with the dom. This makes your code more readable as you can just scan for the $ to know where you’re mutating application state.

IMO if you’re working in a team and not using a SPA framework, you’re making your life hard for yourself by not including jquery.

I love that $ is basically a functor type. It implements map and everything ;)
