I was a bit surprised by this as well. As a heavy ReactJS user I tend to avoid from the jQuery stuff.
jQuery was ranked "most popular web framework" (48.7%) but it was also ranked 2nd place for "most dreaded web framework" (54.7%). I suspect that there may be a lot of older projects/sites that still rely heavily on jQuery, thus accounting for high popularity - and possibly the "most dreaded" title.
