You Might Not Need jQuery

[ab_testing]

This site gets posted a lot. However if you looks the comparison code for vanilla JavaScript vs jquery, it looks like the jquery syntax is much easier to comprehend.

If the syntax for what you want to do is slightly more verbose, JavaScript has a concept of functions which allow you to reuse code quite easily:

Clearly posting this in 2022 is really funny, it is almost 10 year old I guess? Technically it's still interesting for improving one code style but does jQuery still heavy in use nowadays? I mean people use it, but I suppose more by choice than by default, they have to really WANT to use it.

Alpine JS is a great modern (spiritual) replacement for jQuery.

It provides a nice reactive, declarative API to manipulate the DOM, without going all-in on a heavy JS framework.
