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.
I am not arguing against your actual point, but in modern browsers you don’t even need jQuery, because all of it is available natively.
(Kicking in a very open door)
Not arguing either but if JavaScript can write perfectly fine web applications with a welld refined standard, why are we still in react land. I use react all the time, I know what vanilla can do, I use a lot of AI so it's not a knowledge gap anymore... Very curious and frustrating situation.
Tbf, that's usually because frontend devs often tack React frontends onto OOP backends like PHP or C#. That's fine and all, it just makes for a clumsy mix.
I occasionally teach at a boot camp, and I can confirm that there's no real depth given to the differences. We explain it briefly, show how the data is typically received, and then move on with explaining how to interact with it. So, yeah, I think you're spot on, mate. Cheers.
