When I want do do some small DOM manipulation I can now just use standard Javascript, jQuery went from providing an essential service smoothing over browser differences to just providing better syntax in that space. When I want to do more, often React or similar is a better fit. So I end up barely using jQuery anymore.

That said, I can imagine quite a few scenarios where it would still be the right tool for the job.
