I somehow still seem to need jQuery. Mainly because I need to use a UI component, and out there one already exists, which does exactly what I need. So jQuery gets in as a dependency. Maybe because I have used it for more than 8 years now, I seem to know the jQuery based components well.
Especially times when one needs things like https://fullcalendar.io/ and Kendo UI jQuery becomes a required dependency.
To those, how to you program enterprise systems, without jQuery? Do you any mature UI toolkits which don't depend on jQuery? I am genuinely interested in knowing about these.
I build pretty simple sites on the public side - mostly restaurants and gyms and other small businesses. I've been moving away from jQuery for everything except my ecommerce sites over the past few months.
The back-end administrative panel of those sites is more complex. It uses Bootstrap, so there's some incentive to include jQuery there, though I don't always use features that require it. But this is an area I struggle with as well - there are so many external components, like date and time pickers, drag & drop image uploads, etc, that aren't easily replaced with vanilla JS components that have feature parity. Curious to see what others have to say about this as well.
