I personally don't... well I didn't until I actually used jQuery to code jQAPI V3 in two ways: 1) parse the XML from the official jQuery docs and passed it to the Astro static site generator and 2) to build the Navigation/Search. I haven't used jQuery close to a decade as well, but it was a nice feeling to just "hack away" in it :).

When the site was down for a bit, I received a couple of messages where it went, and how to bring it back. "i need jqapi online, is the blood for my code" inspired me to just do a rewrite and play around with Astro.

But yeah, wouldn't use it for new projects. Just seemed fitting to code with the actual library the documentation is about.
