I'll say the death of JQuery rather than being replaced by React or Angular, was more a result of standardization of ECMAScript and the progress of native APIs in browsers.
Before JQuery creating your own JS for a weird IE6 bug was a nightmare; but with that problem solved in the modern web development, JQuery killer feature became a little redundant.
I seriously doubt "native web components" or something similar will catch in the same momentum to kill React.
- ipaddr 4y agoThe number of people who went from jQuery to native is much much lower than you mention. Most moved to angular/react/vue/some framework. People replaced jQuery to handle state easier not because of standardization..
- courgette 4y agoIdk I’m not a front end guy but I mostly stopped to reach for jquery as much. Standard stuff are sufficient ( for simple site and POC )
