Finding

lastUpdated: 2016-11-17. The rule states "jQuery is the MUST HAVE tool" and lists cross-browser support and plugins as reasons. This recommendation is outdated: modern browsers provide native DOM APIs, and many projects use frameworks or vanilla JS.

Suggestions

  • Reframe the rule to explain when jQuery remains appropriate (legacy projects) and when to prefer native DOM APIs or frameworks.
  • Add examples showing native equivalents (querySelector, classList) and note performance/maintenance trade-offs.
  • Recommend documenting project-specific choices and linking to migration resources where relevant.
