I use PHP with MySQL myself over a lot of years because its easy to use and a lot of websites i maintain are still on it. But i use JavaScript as fallback for animations, interactive and ajax calls.

I use jQuery at the moment because I use it for a lot of years already, but now Bootstrap 5 decided to switch to JavaScript, I am thinking of switching to an alternative.

I use jQuery only for the DOM integration, animations and ajax calls because JavaScript calls to a class looks such a long call. I like the way of jQuery with $(document).on('click','.something',function() {});

By the way, I like to keep using HTML, PHP and Bootstrap as I do now.

I decided to use Font Awesome from the introduction of Bootstrap 4 because they stopped supporting integrated icons and i found the free to use Font Awesome after that.

A couple of years i switched to Clickup because Asana started to get more of a paid service for almost everything and to feel not limited i was ready to pay, but ClickUp was a lot cheaper then Asana and has more integrations and options.

I just switched to VS Code after 13 years using Dreamweaver. Its because i started to use GitHub / Git & Sass i needed to install seperate programs for compile and pushing etc. So Dreamweaver started to get very limited and thats why i made the switch.

Just because i was use to use MySQL and its very clear what it does i kept using MySQL.

Because jQuery UI needs to be updated every time and i only use it for datepicker and such small things i made the decision to use HTML5 over jQuery UI.

I hate at the end of creating a website the CSS file s so long and almost have no structure. This is why i choose to use Sass to create seperate files per component and per module to have everything more structure

When only prototype and jQuery were the way to go i made the choice for jQuery, because more supported it and it was a lot easier then prototype.

Back in the day JavaScript was very big to code compared to jQuery and a lot of features in jQuery werend even possible. That was the reason to start using jQuery.
