Not sure about Backbone specifically, but jQuery is good for a lot more than DOM manipulation. It hides a lot of the differences in browser Javascript APIs, and provides a lot of convenient AJAX tools. For instance, server communication is as simple as a $.getJSON away.
- batoure 13y agoso http requests are also similarly directly handled in Angular without the need for jquery.
- verisimilidude 13y agoBut his point stands: jQuery is useful beyond DOM manipulation as a library. In one of my current side projects, all of the DOM is managed through React, but I'm still using (and loving!) jQuery for all the $.ajax stuff.
- batoure 13y agoTo be fair your statement is more inline with my first point, for as much as someone shows how clean Angular http services are there will always be someone who like the simplicity or paradigm of the more seasoned pillar platforms
