Maybe not the big, funded websites. But I'm sure a lot of people doing small, static-y websites for MVPs, personal websites, or small products will use JQuery for a long time to come. JQuery is a no-brainer for anyone with small website with limited interactivity.

JQuery is like the PHP of front-end - inexpensive to build with, easy to use and loads of information available on stackoverflow.

Unfortunately I couldn't disagree more. You do not really need JQuery any more, as JS has matured. I just see it as wasted loading time.

I agree with your opinion that you do not 'need' JQuery. I'm saying that people will use it nevertheless, even if better alternatives are available.

JQuery has a lot of ergonomics that I'm really comfortable with (mainly chaining).
