jQuery solved (and solves) a lot of browser inconsistencies (fewer now than before) and I guess a lot of older codebases still rely on it, so I am glad to see it is still moving forward. However, jQuery has a built in problem in modern web development, as the DOM-functions that now makes it obsolete, as in it does not solve the more complex problem of state management and scoping of components. For some sprinkling on top of server side rendered web pages I guess it still has some value if you need to cater for older web browsers, but for those who build applications that handles state and components for the current setup of browsers it is not needed in your toolbox any more when bootstrapping new projects. However, it helped us getting to a point where we could rely on solid libraries and focus on building better user experiences. I am glad it still gets updated but will probably not write "jQuery-code" anymore in my professional life.
