Any good reason to continue jQuery?

I have been too much adjusted to jQuery eventhough es6+ is an option, the animations are so easy to use... I have also been trying to replicate jQuery any suggestions? BTW the jquery min js would be fast enough right?

I haven't messed with animations much beyond just using CSS transition, but if that's not enough I'd recommend using a different js animation library or just writing your own. As for the rest of jQuery, 90% of its use is replaced by just doing this at the top of your scripts:
const $ = document.querySelector;
const $ = document.querySelector;

Most of what made jQuery great is now part of the language spec, so newer sites can use the language and not need to load KBs or more of a library to get the same use. If you plan on supporting Wordpress or existing sites that use it then keep on, since maintenance rarely allowed to complete re-writes

Isn't that going to be a static selection?

It's just creating an alias. I wouldn't necessarily using it though, it's not very readable
