jQuery has its uses, many uses. But for the ones stated above, it's just not needed. People are including a large library on their site, to use a couple functions. Use the correct tool for the job.

I would rather have one single large dependency than a handful of small, regularly abandoned, ones.
In a year I will be able to reach out to the community for support on jQuery. Will I for all of these small tools?
My original post was ditching jquery for native JavaScript. Nothing to do with additional libraries. Except for Lodash which is very specific to some complex things I'm doing that jquery wouldn't help with anyhow.
