I think a big part of the problem is that jQuery went from a nifty tool to do nifty things to a crutch that is abused by low-end devs.
The most recent project I took over had jQuery loading on every page. Even though jQuery was actually only used on maybe 10% of the pages. And the thing the previous developer was trying to accomplish with jQuery can be easily done in CSS.
Needless to say, that web site is now jQuery free.
