I wonder if the use of Jquery is still advantageous in the development of Frond-end with the features with Ecmascript 6 and the like.

It depends on the context, not in general, but on static websites that you want to add some animation plugins might be (it doesn’t mean that it always goes)

ES6, in my view, has nothing to do with anything, what makes jQuery "deprecated" is the fact that it is disorganized compared to so many other options, such as Angular, React, Vue and even Angularjs that has already been discontinued

In jQuery you have a lot of messy files with a lot of mixed stuff, there is no standard adopted by the whole community, you make one way the next to move the code of another, and so it will form a snowball

jQuery was born with the idea of a shortcut to some Javascript things, just a facilitator, nothing more. While the others I mentioned were born to be used from scenarios from a simple CRUD to a complex Dashboard, they already came with a style guide for all users to follow

But if you are only making a site to promote uncle’s company that the only more complex action will be sending email, can even be used, facilitates development if you already know it and you have many animation plugins to add to the site. But you should always think that jQuery + plugins results in more project dependencies and more load time

Basically, jQuery can be good for design, nothing else
