Looks like I misread. They ultimately reached the conclusion that using jQuery was not ok. Good for them.

I would argue as well that AJAX requests don't belong inside Vue components. They belong in services and those services should ideally be behind the Vuex store, but there is nothing wrong with not using Vuex.

If we were just talking about using jQuery for AJAX given that you already were using it, then sure that's fine, use it instead of adding something else like axios. From the article what was being proposed was using it to query the DOM. There is no use case for that with Vue.
