It's current year, you have to choose one. there really isn't any reason to use jquery other than legacy code
Jquery is still extremely relevant. React exists as well, and is also a good framework. I just happened to think of jquery first.
what does jquery give you that vanilla js doesn't? it was good before browser inconsistencies got ironed out and js didn't have as many features built in, but nowadays I have no idea why someone would need it
