Where I work, we’re still using jQuery. Why? It works and everyone on the team understands it, even the backend guy who hates doing UI stuff. We looked at React and Vue, and they’re great, but it would be a nightmare to get everyone on the same page and wouldn’t solve the problem of keeping our front end lightweight.

That's been the biggest migration in the react world -- backend developers to the frontend, because the frontend suddenly "makes sense" due to it being declarative and predictable, rather than imperative. As far as lightweight goes, jquery is much heavier than Preact, a React clone designed to be lightweight. Only 16kb.
