A lot of what jQuery was created to do is now baked into the browser. CSS selectors, proper ajax, animation, etc.

I built a small convenience library around fetch to make it super easy to use ajax like in jQuery. Also built a small utility library around ES6 methods that recreate jQuery methods. It doesn't take much to get back the convenience of jQuery but still use all the new tools.

I love jQuery and used it for years. But there are better tools now.
