I don't think that quote justifies your love of jQuery. The keywords are "some" and "sprinkled in". In my experience jQuery always trends towards a huge mess the more it is used.

Sure, it could be used but it really shouldn't.

Interacting with the DOM in a procedural way, and storing state on the DOM is always going to be harder to manage than using a reactive pattern when you trend towards more complexity.

It's s CRUD app! You don't need everything to be a SPA with a heavy weight framework!

You can use something like Preact for little widgets here and there. It's not one or the other!

Really depends on what level of complexity we're talking about. Simple form with a couple of fields or something like gmail?

jQuery is no better ( these days ) than Vanilla JS, which you will love as well especially if you choose to use ES6 syntax.

`document.querySelectorAll` is amazing. It's a unification of the css syntax and javascript. No more filtering it your self, and your standard javascript stuff still works. It's wonderful.
