Trying to write any kind of complex interactivity with JQuery event handlers is a serious pain in the butt, and it's so hard to go back and read.

I did the same as you; moved on to Vue and haven't looked back. My frontend code is so much cleaner and easier to debug. I've built a large library of components, so often times adding a new page only takes a couple hours re-using those instead of writing a bunch of new JQuery from scratch.

JQuery is great when I need to make (non-contentful) changes to the DOM. But I refuse to use it for managing the state of my app or putting content in UI components.
