Most of its syntax is now part of JS/DOM natively now. I think that's because of how intuitive it was.

It's not cool anymore but there's little compelling reason to tear it out of existing projects other than a refactor. It still works.

I've been jQuery-less for quite a while now, but honestly I still miss it sometimes. [...document.querySelectorAll()], event binding, and quite a lot of other jQuery stuff is still a bit more verbose, even in the hippest browser environments.
