Stack Overflow's developer survey found that in 2020 43% of web developers were using jQuery and 36% were using React [0]. Still biased in favor of jQuery but not nearly as much as you say.

Based on nothing other than intuition, I assume the Stack Overflow audience still at least slightly selects for React developers over jQuery developers, compared to the general public.

Of course, that doesn't really matter — we're talking about Stack Overflow users, and you're right that this is a way better source of data on what Stack Overflow users care about. Not sure why I didn't think to check their developer survey.
