title: Is it a bad practice to use jQuery in ReactJS?
body: <p>I personally use pure javascript in a ReactJS project (or any other project). But I've been thinking lately that is a bad practice to use jQuery in ReactJS? </p>
  
  <p>I've used jQuery when I was learning ReactJS and I don't mean any other external javascript file, what I mean is : </p>
  
  <pre><code>        if (form.status === 200) {
           $(".element").val("");
        }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and felt really bad using this kind of <strong>patch work</strong>, later I learned about <code>this.setState({});</code></p>
  
  <p>But, given in some circumstances, such as making ajax calls, is it a good idea to use jQuery?</p>
