Single reason why I should not use it?

  Someone on HN might make fun of you.

  Simple: You don't need React/Vue/Polymer for everything. Personal anecdotal evidence: helping a friend create a very simple dashboard of running jobs returned by a REST service + stats returned by the same service etc. I've yet to find a reason to use jQuery, much less a bigger framework.

    >much less a bigger framework So do you primarily write server side web apps? Anything slightly more sophisticated on the front-end beyond imperative jQuery calls, requires a framework, to organize your logic, and to scale up to a team level where multiple devs can contribute to the same front-end codebase.

      Nope. I'm a frontend developer :) > Anything slightly more sophisticated on the front-end beyond imperative jQuery calls, requires a framework, to organize your logic, and to scale up to a team level where multiple devs can contribute to the same front-end codebase. Yes. Often though, not a framework, but a library.
