Detractors of the "html over the wire" movement are always talking about it as if the people working on this stuff didn't live through the jQuery days and are blindly repeating them.

What's wrong with jQuery? All my homies (favorite websites) are jQuery.

jQuery is still viable in many situations! My comment is directed at people who say you can't sanely build bigger things without React.

Sure, you do you. I spent 10 years working with jQuery and am very thankful to leave that very far behind me.

BTW: jQuery is 85.1 kB minified and 29.7 kB gzipped. Preact (same API/dev experience as React, minimal performance impact) is 11.4 kB minified and 4.5 kB gzipped. Who has the smaller JS bundle now?

So did I and you’re side-stepping my initial comment by responding to my response that people can use jQuery if they want. I no longer use it myself nor, btw, did I say anything about its size.
