While I'm fully supportive of making a choice to not use current trendy frameworks... putting out a jQuery-based design system in 2020 doesn't feel like it is going to find a large target audience.

I agree! Though Bootstrap 4 uses jQuery for its plugins so I figured why not. BS5 will get rid of jQuery, and I plan on doing the same when updating this design system for BS5 :)

BS 5 was supposed to come out in 2020 but looks like there is a little bit of wait. A jQuery dependency is okay till then

Looks like a neat UI Kit. What are you using for tags and select?

Thanks! For tags I'm using "Bootstrap 4 Tags Input", and for select I'm using "bootstrap-select". I've custom styled these plugins to fit them in perfectly with the design language of the system :)

"As of Feb 2020, jQuery is used by 74.4% of the top 10 million websites (according to W3Techs).[18]"

Get over yourself. 75% of top 10 million websites still use. Heck Wordpress and Drupal still use. It's still relevant.

Maybe not the big, funded websites. But I'm sure a lot of people doing small, static-y websites for MVPs, personal websites, or small products will use JQuery for a long time to come. JQuery is a no-brainer for anyone with small website with limited interactivity.

JQuery is like the PHP of front-end - inexpensive to build with, easy to use and loads of information available on stackoverflow.
