I used to be a regular user of jq, but I was never parsing very large JSON. I now do what I used to do with jq in my browser's developer tools console. Map and filter are far more familiar than jq's syntax where I found myself referring to the documentation most of the time.
I'm sure other people have use cases where the browser wouldn't meet their needs, but for me, I find jq unnecessary.
