- garymoon 6y agoI think it is still widely adopted in CMSs like Drupal and Wordpress and they have a big market share. Jquery will not die soon even if it is not the first choice for starting a new project. It's been years since the last time I used it.
- noisem4ker 6y agoYes. It's fine for progressive enhancement of server-side-rendered webpages.
- greenie_beans 6y agoI've had to learn it at a new job after starting my career making UIs with React. It's not so bad.
- ativzzz 6y agoAbsolutely. Starting most new projects with something like React/Vue is complete overkill and jquery makes adding small incremental JS functionality to your app a breeze.
- solraph 6y agoI can't speak for React, but I found adding VueJS was perfect for adding JS functionality incrementally to a section of a site. See my other comment on this thread on using it to create a dynamic contact form to an otherwise static site.
