They were right, jQuery is 1000 times smoother to use than typical DOM manipulation 😍

Welcome to 2007, kid. No worries, only 10 years of technology ahead.

@Huuugo please tell me what's 2017 😂

@Orionss SPAs with React, Vue or Angular 4 I'd say

@Huuugo Uuuh it's way more difficult to learn

If you look into how DOM manipulation works these days, and you might find that jQuery doesn't make a huge difference. In fact, I completely avoid using it.

@Huuugo After thinking, I noticed that if I was doing with Angular what I'm doing with jQuery, it would be completely useless and heavy. I'm just working on a little app :)

Virtual DOM is the trend of web apps now. I suggest checking at least one of these libraries to learn about it. It might be implemented as a standard feature in browsers later on

Angular is a full fledged framework while jQuery is a library. So yeah Angular may not be the right tool for the job.

React may be better suited for that case since it's​ a DOM manipulation library.

jQuery is old and most likely not the right tool, you can either use React/Angular/Vue or just go with plain JavaScript ( http://youmightnotneedjquery.com )

To be honest, for all smaller websites or those not requiring much interaction, Ajax and stuff. I would always stick to jquery or vanilla JS.
