No matter what JS framework/library holds the #1 spot at any given time, jQuery will always have a special place in my heart.

    No matter what JS library holds the #1 spot at any given time there is a special place in hell for all of them.

    I think people's disgust mostly comes from legacy sites where a junior tried to build a complete SPA with jQuery.

    As a set of functions for showing/hiding a few elements... It's OK. These days, doing it with pure JS isn't much harder, but it was a fine, useful library back then.

    I'm actually more disgusted with SPAs in general though, regardless of framework.

    It was so easy to build shit with jquery. I wonder if there’s still jobs out there using it. Probably a mess by now.

    "a special place in your heart"

    You mean like a blocked artery?

    Well, I'd designate its place in my leaver rather than heart, but I get the sentiment 🤭

    I loved it back in the day but it was even worse than tailwind for actively encouraging bad code.
