Probably unpopular opinion, but still better than react and angular. at least you don't need to build your whole site around it. Nor all sites need those heavy frontend framework.

100% agree. Also, its like 40kb and doesnt move lighthouse scores.

You can pry query from my cold dead hands. Its simple to use, easy to read, will be supported forever, and lightweight. Disagree? Fuck you!

React is 7.4 kB. It's a myth that react is a heavy framework. You can absolutely implement only certain parts of your web app in react, and other parts using different libraries or vanilla JS.

Ok, and how many dozen people actually do that?

There is a time and place for react. It gets overused for simple web pages. Its bloat and complicates projects.

Simple webpages with react are very lightweight and when you use server side rendering even more. No jQuery can ever achieve this.

Angular and Redux.
