I'm not sure if this is a serious question or not, but about 75% of the top sites on the Internet use jQuery: https://trends.builtwith.com/javascript/jQuery https://trends.builtwith.com/javascript/jQuery Perhaps new projects shouldn't be using jQuery, but it's possible that some devs who just churn out code without watching the industry aren't aware of this.

>Perhaps new projects shouldn't be using jQuery, but it's possible that some devs who just churn out code without watching the industry aren't aware of this.
