I know it’s trandy to disqualify jQuery, but I’ve yet to see a rational argument that justifies it.

Most small to medium sized projects don’t need MVC, build systems, preprocessors, docker, etc. It's just a collective fascination for shinny overly complex things.

Even if you decide MVC is not needed, it's just as likely you won't need jQuery either. Vanilla JS is pretty powerful and cross browser complaint these days.

Jquery is messy on a large scale, but on a small scale it allows you type far less code than pure JS. On small to medium size projects, it's entirely reasonable to remain the best tool.
