You don't really need jQuery anymore, due to the browser APIs being far more mutually compatible and useful than a decade ago. So really it would be more like React vs vanilla JS. There's definitely a place for vanilla, when you just need minor dynamism on an otherwise basic UI.

You say that, but from time to time I still discover slight variations in browser behavior or bugs that were opened 8 years ago that would've been avoided if I had just used jQuery. Most modern frameworks will abstract away these differences, but sometimes you'll need to access the DOM directly.
