JQuery is an alternative to React or Vue. JQuery is philosophically another approach to solving the same problem. JQuery offers you functions to call without telling you how to write your program. JQuery is a philosophy about respect, and about not knowing better, because you actually know that you don't.
- petepete 7y agoAs is plain old JavaScript. React and Vue are geared towards solving a specific part of that problem. Without a very good reason, most developers shouldn't be trying to solve the problems Vue and React solve in jQuery/JS. Of course, some will want to and nothing's stopping them, but I wouldn't recommend it for _normal_ projects.

- tehbeard 7y ago> JQuery is a philosophy about respect, and about not knowing better, because you actually know that you don't. Advocating ignorance seems, I don't know... ignorant? The only sound argument for JQuery when not using react/vue/Ang. is the plugin ecosystem. Otherwise current browser techniques (document.querySelector/All, fetch, map/reduce/filter/some etc) with polyfills does a better job.
