Until you have to upgrade it and it bites you

  jQuery's big point was to give a consistent API over inconsistent browser implementations, so it typically saves you from bites more often than it bites you.

  jQuery, for as long as it's been around has had very few major releases, 4 now.. and very few breaking changes... hardly "biting" ... other than those sites that are injecting a half dozen different copies of jQuery from different modules, and who knows which one you're actually working with, let alone 3rd party payloads. I mean, personally, I've mostly used React the past decade and any integration directly to the browser has been straight JS/TS... but I can still see how jQuery can be useful for its' conveniences.
