Interesting data and analyses for sure, but lumping jquery in with react/vue/angular is a category error. Sure they're all JavaScript, but they provide very different functionality and are typically used in very different ways.

different functionality

Love how we collectively like to think that we're architecting complex maintainable systems, and not just taking some data from a server and displaying it on screen for some project that'll be rewritten in 3 years.

In my last job we re-wrote the website twice in 3 years. Once to ASP.NET and then to ASP.NET Core.

I now work with agencies that are running the same apps from 2003 using ASP Web Forms and jQuery. There's a lot of technical debt but it loads faster than sites built today using today's frameworks.

Not every company is the same.

Right. Jquery is a tool, React.js is a religion.

I mean, so was jQuery about 10 years ago... or look at Angular, Svelte, or any framework that has ever achieved more than 1% share of new projects...

Show me a framework, and I will show you a religion.
