My startup failed because we were too late to ship our minimal viable product. We waited too long to make it perfect and by then a competitor had shipped their imperfect product and captured our market.
This is pretty much the reason I still use jQuery too. Although JavaScript now offers much of the jQuery functionality as built-ins, the very concise syntax that jQuery offers is more convenient to use.
