Three ways it can help:<p>* A lot of plugins&#x2F;libraries require jQuery, so by using jQuery you can use those plugins.<p>* It&#x27;s easier to hire junior devs that can write good enough jQuery, compared to native JavaScript.<p>* As a very mature library, there&#x27;s lots of documentation out there for standardising the way you do things. This makes it easier for other devs to pick up your work.
