Where'd you get your time machine, that you obviously would've needed to set to 2008 to find anyone actual recommending jQuery?
It's still the best API for imperative access to DOM.
Do you need to support 15 year old browsers? Practically all the jQuery features I used (which was a lot) are now available in standard js
Even if you do, you can still use most modern js features with transpilation.
