Personally I still use jQuery for things like text editors and sliders and such. This article describes how "GitHub has been working for the last few years to move away from jQuery and run its interface entirely on Web standards, specifically Web Components." More. Should I change my strategy? Not yet - the "large library" consists of only 17 elements (and zero demos, so you have to install them to even see what they look like). That doesn't mean that none of this will be important in the future - there are some valid criticisms of jQuery and I can understand GitHub's motivation. But building tools for GitHub isn't the same as building tools for the world, and they're not there yet.
