Is jQuery still the go-to JS helper library? (programming.dev)

It's been awhile since I did any frontend work. Is there something that has taken jQuery's place?

Nowadays people use HTMX

Not sure why downvoted. HTMX does seem to be becoming popular. I prefer the simplicity of it.

Because it's only gaining traction, while the commenter made it sound like everyone was using it instead of jQuery. Which is simply not true, everyone is using Vue, React, Angular, Svelte and so on.

Htmx for server requests and AplineJS for client interactions
