It’s been awhile since I did any frontend work. Is there something that has taken jQuery’s place?

        Same here, tbh I haven’t thought about jquery in a while and kinda came in here to see if it’s dead or not. Yeah frameworks have largely eliminated the “need” for jquery libraries for most projects. It’s weird to think about, didn’t take too long to happen.

        What do you mean about animations?

        Every use-case I can think about is already well supported by vanilla css/js without libraries or frameworks. (not including really out-there use-cases like game engines or image editors)

        Can you give an example?

            I think you’re forgetting about the Animation API.

            Example: making something flash once to get a user’s attention

            element.animate( {opacity: [1, 0, 1]}, { duration: 500 } );
            

            Use CSS animations everywhere you can, but if you need to be able to hook into an animation (to dynamically change the speed, cancel something, sync animations together, etc…) you should be using the Animation API.

            There’s never a need for jQuery.
