> There is a trend in web dev right now to stop using jQuery because reasons.
One reason is that a lot of jquery’s bulk is compatibility concerns or BC in edges, if you decide that you don’t support old jQuery (mis)behaviour, older APIs, older browsers, … you can probably slim it down a fair bit.
A bunch of utilities you can also probably do without e.g. your jQuery.map, animations stuff, … jQuery is progressively deprecating more and more things, but it’s a harder sell to actually remove them.
