Famo.us vs jQuery: What are the differences?
Famo.us: A JavaScript framework for everyone who wants to build beautiful experiences on any device. Famo.us is a free and open source JavaScript platform for building mobile apps and desktop experiences. What makes Famo.us unique is its JavaScript rendering engine and 3D physics engine that gives developers the power and tools to build native quality apps and animations using pure JavaScript; jQuery: The Write Less, Do More, JavaScript Library. jQuery is a cross-platform JavaScript library designed to simplify the client-side scripting of HTML.
Famo.us and jQuery can be primarily classified as "Javascript UI Libraries" tools.
"Speedy as native apps" is the primary reason why developers consider Famo.us over the competitors, whereas "Cross-browser" was stated as the key factor in picking jQuery.
Famo.us and jQuery are both open source tools. jQuery with 51.9K GitHub stars and 18.3K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Famo.us with 6.48K GitHub stars and 765 GitHub forks.

As the team experimented with front-end technologies, they implemented a new signup flow with Angular, and other flows, including the Market Page, in React and Redux. The team says of that time: “If you’re following closely, yes, this means that in one rails app we had pages that included one or many of the following: jQuery, Angular, and React.”
