jQuery plugins are extremely powerful. Look at fullcalendar.io as great example. Web 2.0 was entirely built upon that. I hate to see people dismissing jQuery and its legacy as just a library. There is a huge community built around jQuery and thousands of plugins.
It ain't new and shiny but you can build anything with it.
In fact, today jQuery is used on 97% of websites* while React and Vue are around 0.2%. I imagine that will change over time.

Granted I've only deployed one SPA to prod and that was an Ember application but I'm not feeling the love based on that project.
