JQuery would make sense when we didn’t have querySelector and fetch API. I can’t think of any reason to use it today on a new project, there are not advantages over vanilla.

The native API is much more verbose and less composable. It was a real lost opportunity.

  const $ = document.querySelector.bind(document)
  const $$ = document.querySelectorAll.bind(document)

jQuery's syntax is 10x better than vanilla javascript

Bullshit, the jQuery "Ajax" API is a hellish convoluted nightmare with zero consistency.

Have you seriously looked at this and thought "yeah thats better than using a single native function (fetch)"?

As for the rest of the API - what would you even use besides the css and selector functions? Which again, the native `classList` and a simple bind to the selectors are simpler and less verbose.
