Learn React by building a web app
The idea is that if you're building your own Javascript library, you can avoid the huge dependency of jQuery.
If you're developing a user-facing app, then yeah, jQuery is still pretty darn helpful.

Its 85kb. I wouldn't say its a huge dependency. I rather keep it than having to learn an entirely new framework.

Are you referring to vanilla JS as an entirely new framework?

No, of course not. Vanilla JS is a scripting language. I was referring to React.
