My take on this is, if you are writing enough JS in your app that the “terseness” of jQuery seems appealing you maybe shouldn’t be writing jQuery or vanilla (unless you’ve built a really nice framework/library specifically for your app/use case/whatever). My point is (I think) jQuery was/is best suited for “sprinkles” of js. These days with “sprinkles” of js jQuery isn’t worth the download/parse cost. If you have more than “sprinkles” use Svelte or Preact or Solid or React or Vue or Mithril or whatever.
