You misunderstand.  I&#x27;m definitely not suggesting using Angular or React for a page or small app.  Quite the opposite.  I&#x27;m suggesting using just Javascript, with no libraries.<p>As other posters have written here, you can easily now do just about everything on &quot;Vanilla JS&quot; as you can using jQuery.  In my experience, the possible exception to this are animations which require significant boilerplate.  However, most common animations are now extremely trivial to accomplish using CSS.<p>I haven&#x27;t used jQuery for new project in 2 years, unless I have to support less than IE9 (and even then, I make sure I really need it first).
