Look at Imba. If you are strong enough to avoid cargo culting and try things which aren't popular, they are some of the best ways to build frontend apps out there: https://imba.io/

No need to miss jquery days. If you want jquery you can use it now. I know at least some companies use it even for greenfield projects.

Hasn't JS caught up with jQuery mostly?

* x-platform (that was a big thing in jQuery in the beginning): solved in JS

* DOM selection (not as elegant w/o some aliassing, but still): solved in JS

* making XHR: solved in JS

* building plugins: solved in JS

* method().chaining().style().of().programming(): not in JS

That's mostly I think.

I'm fine with using it for personal projects. For anything with a larger team, they'd probably look at me like I was crazy if I suggest anything that didn't involve React, at least in these parts.
