I would say no. It's everywhere. Even as you mention it's a common dependency or comes bundled with a lot of stuff. I have not sat down and written logic that "does the same thing in more than one browser" in a very long time but I'd venture to guess the part of jquery that is browser javascript api abstraction is still very relevant today.

Interesting :)

To me it always felt kinda strange seeing all these jQuery Stackoverflow questions and answers.

When I switched from server side rendering to SPAs, I had the impression everyone was already hating on jQuery and avoided it. I read "Pro JavaScript Techniques" and "JavaScript the good Parts" and started my JS career :)

ExtJS 4 came out and I did my first SPA with it.

Later I did some university projects with Ember, which seems to use jQuery, but I never had to call one of its functions directly.

After that I started freelancing and ended up in a React project, which I found kinda nice to work with.
