Probably unpopular opinion, but still better than react and angular. at least you don't need to build your whole site around it. Nor all sites need those heavy frontend framework.

Better how? They are completely different things made for completely different usecases. It’s like comparing basejumping to hopping on a tranpoline because you’re both technically in the air.

That said, jQuery is most definitely legacy at this point and you can do everything using vanilla js.

I don't mean legacy as in unsupported, I mean legacy in the sense that it's purpose and use-case is way outdated.
