I wouldn't really consider it alive in the grand scheme of things.

According to https://w3techs.com/technologies/details/js-jquery:

> jQuery is used by 94.5% of all the websites whose JavaScript library we know. This is 77.5% of all websites.

This appears to be current data too (Oct 2023). I'm not sure how reliable the data is, but it is congruent with my experience that _a lot_ of websites still use jQuery. It's easy to forget the HN crowd is also in a bubble. If you only read articles here, you'd think everyone is using the latest JS framework du jour, but lots of the web still runs on PHP and jQuery.

Not that surprising actually, since jQuery is bundled with WordPress.

yes, but why on earth would you pick it for something greenfield? The only justification I could see is it being a tool you are personally familiar with.
