jQuery is still an excellent Javascript library

Nice try, ChatGPT

jQuery will be still be around after the latest Javascript framework of the month is long gone.

Maybe, but I wouldn't say it's really excellent.

It was basically helping people deal with ancient browsers (particularly IE6) and a javascript runtime bereft of convenience features, at a cost of some syntactic awkwardness and performance.

If you are targeting ES2020 and above, as is widely considered a reasonable requirement, you pretty much have the stuff that jQuery brings to the table, but built in without additional download and without an abstraction that costs some cycles.
