The vanilla js APIs are so atrocious that we got jquery.

I think you missed a tense. Was atrocious, we got jquery, which got folded back into javascript. If the last time you worked with vanilla js was when jquery was hot, you're views are outdated.
Sibling and parent/child traversal is still a disaster and querySelector, querySelectorAll doesn't solve it.
