Jquery devs prob don't deserve as much credit as your old greybeard. And jquery was moreso used for browser compatibility and ease of use than performance or so I recall. On the topic of performance in web frameworks I often have to hear people tell me react is faster than plain vanilla Js. I used to argue the point but now I just smile and nod. Maybe the world has gone mad or maybe I'm the one out of touch
