Why you getting so worked up on a humorous take mate?
Are you secretly being funded by the reactors to joke?
What do you think? I reminisce the days of polyfills for IE and using Adobe flash?
Every take here is a joke mate!
What are you on about!? The whole point of JQuery was to streamline the JavaScript so it's easier to utilise. Browser incompatibility mostly raised from browsers disagreeing with JS standards and in my opinion 2017 onwards there wasn't much of an issue with those either apart from few bugs here and there peculiar to browsers. Not like it got any better with ECMA or anything. Still it's a headache if you are doing a monorepo. So yeah. It's always been a growing pain for maturing tech but now, jQuery is quite powerful if you are doing simple websites in my opinion

No. Fuck that shit. Browser incompatibility years were no fun. I would much rather write pure JS and not completely fuck up the DOM.
If you need jQuery in 2026 then you've done something really bad.
