It’s been awhile since I did any frontend work. Is there something that has taken jQuery’s place?

    I think you’re forgetting about the Animation API.

    Example: making something flash once to get a user’s attention

    element.animate( {opacity: [1, 0, 1]}, { duration: 500 } );
    

    Use CSS animations everywhere you can, but if you need to be able to hook into an animation (to dynamically change the speed, cancel something, sync animations together, etc…) you should be using the Animation API.

    There’s never a need for jQuery.
