No, jQuery existed for that reason. React has other reasons, one of them being that manual DOM tracking and manipulation is brittle and annoying and the way React works turns that around completely.

I'm not sure what Preact or NakedJSX offers me that would make it a better choice than React.

NakedJSX is primarily a low friction static site generator, it is not intended as a React or Preact replacement. Except for cases where something like React is overkill.

We don’t do manual dom tracking anymore. We have custom tags, shadow dom, es modules, etc making React obsolete.
