I've been weaning myself off of jQuery for my latest project in favor of pure es6 modules and fetch() for ajax requests. For me it's a relief to not be dependent on a framework anymore. Plus, you learn the actual workings of js in stead of being used to a facade.
Lastly, a personal note and correct me if I'm wrong - I just saw a few examples. Angular and Vue have what I call inline code which looks really messy. Like similar to an onclick= on an element. I prefer to have everything in a separate js file.
@lestah It's all depend on how your application should work and what it's functionalities. Vue is a trending framework and it gives more support for the development. Of course you can work with jQuery if the application is not very complex and simple.
It all depends on what you want to achieve and how much JS you are going to have. If the functionality you want is more custom work, then pure JS can be a way to go. If existing frameworks do what you are after then building your own can be wasteful of your resources. If you want to achieve more complex output, Vue is recommended with Laravel. You also have to take into consideration which browsers you support. With that frameworks have done the work for you.
I personally love jQuery. Not only do we use a design framework that requires it, but it simplifies coding for us. Our needs are not that huge so it covers it nicely. Also there isn't another lightweight drag-drop library out there that can do what jQuery UI does (again, per our needs).
