Major Changes: .load, .unload, and .error, deprecated since jQuery 1.8, are no more. Use .on() to register listeners. jQuery.Deferred is now Promises/A+ compatible Error cases don’t silently fail Animations now use requestAnimationFrame Massive speedups for some jQuery custom selectors
Is anyone using custom selectors? quick googling only returns 5+ years old results
we use jquery in an angular code base and have long wanted a build without Ajax which is huge and that is useless in angular
I'm finding I don't need jQuery anymore. What are the reasons people still use it?
It's a bit like the perl of web page JS for me. I wouldn't recommend writing a full complex application in it - although that is possible and by people who know what they're doing can be done cleanly and organised... but for super quick hackery, it's hard to beat.
Since I used d3.js for one project a few years ago, I have not touched jQuery ever since. d3 offers key jQuery features, but goes much more beyond that.

I've often head this and it would probably be in my next-side project. Do you have an AJAX API bundled with D3 or are you using some custom functions ?

jQuery also tends to handle a lot of assorted browser quirks, giving you a consistent api to call.

You can check the documentations here:

Those methods are quite powerful.

What do you typically use it for?
And it's the default choice for any complex web data visualization project.
Last night, I was working on a side project. For the front-end, I'm using React, React-Route, and I'm working on figuring out Fluxible. superagent to wrap XmlHttpRequest. browserify to compile what I serve to the front-end. I don't run a reverse-proxy with a node backend since the API is in PHP, I just served the minified JS files.
Honestly, it's a huge pain. And every module I toss in there seems to limit compatibility with the next one. The barrier of entry to doing things right is HUGE. Also, if you disable JS the site would be useless, 100%.
If I were to go with angular it would be even worse. I honestly may go back to jQuery on this project yet. I don't expect it to be huge, and since most Foundation plugins use jQuery anyway it should work. I honestly loathe how much crap I'm loading for two pages: sign-up / register.
