Why do people say jQuery is irrelevant?

Question

I've been hearing people say that jQuery is no longer relevant in 2020, why is that?

Answer 1

Because of improvements in vanilla js, now you can do all things in vanilla js easily, developer's used jQuery because of "$( )" now in vanilla we have "querySelector( )" .

Answer 2

So do you think people no longer need to use jQuery

Answer 3

Well yes Lucky, people NO longer need to use jquery.

As Sudarshan Rai 👑 stated, all/most functions of jquery can be done in vanilla JS.

And, If you include jQuery in your project, it will result in a bit higher load time, which no one wants😉.
