Is Underscore.js still relevant in modern web development?

The question is about Underscore.js

Answer:

Yes, Underscore.js is still relevant in certain contexts of modern web development. Underscore.js is used often enough, but its use has definitely declined with the arrival of native improvements to JavaScript through ES6+ and the widespread use of the Lodash variant. In fact, most utility functions that developers relied on libraries like Underscore.js for-namely, map, filter, and reduce-were baked right into ES6. Underscore.js remains useful to developers maintaining older codebases, projects requiring cross-browser consistency, or situations where a lightweight utility library without the additional features included in Lodash is overkill. While less necessary today, Underscore is able to make certain processes easier to this date.
