“Does anybody in the Yeshiva velt still use a Jastrow?”

Yes. Why not?

Artscroll’s translation is not so clearly word-for-word. So, it really doesn’t help the bocher learn Aramaic at all. Also, the way they vocalize a lot of words is just completely wrong, or perhaps just against the pronunciation used traditionally.
