Solo or small team devs who hate modern tooling. Good example is levelsio guy: https://twitter.com/levelsio/status/1750175827197567165

I'm also in that camp and still use jQuery.

My current SaaS is an extension that doesn't have much UI code https://www.snipcss.com, and my next SaaS will be a chatgpt powered web automation extension that has a good amount of UI. Both use jQuery.

Edit: I didn't say why I don't just use vanilla with querySelectorAll - majn reasons are I like how I can attach events (attaching to parent while targeting dynamically added subelements), chaining functions, and it's just less code than vanilla
