On: Is jQuery still relevant? (2014)

If you are planning to ditch jQuery, make sure you consult this:

Make sure you also consult browser marketshare numbers and decide exactly what you need to support:

http://caniuse.com/usage-table

Many of the examples in that doc are Android < 4.1 (0.06%), IE < 9 (0.48%), Firefox < 24 (~0.1%), etc. Even IE 9-11 is only 4% of the market these days.

The browser-compatibility story is dramatically different from when JQuery was created in 2006. All of the major browsers have been auto-updating for several years now.
