I know that the on method, is supposed to replace live, delegate etc. But is there any point in using it on places where you're currently using the click event? For example on elements that are not dynamically generated.

on() differs from . click() in that it has the ability to create delegated event handlers by passing a selector parameter, whereas . click() does not.
click() shorthand is deprecated at jQuery 3 The . on() and . trigger() methods can set an event handler or generate an event for any event type, and should be used instead of the shortcut methods.
So onclick creates an attribute within the binded HTML tag, using a string which is linked to a function. Whereas . click binds the function itself to the property element.
To trigger the onclick function in jQuery, click() method is used. For example, on clicking a paragraph on a document, a click event will be triggered by the $(“p”). click() method. The user can attach a function to a click method whenever an event of a click occurs to run the function.
It's not specifically worth replacing click(), as in the jQuery source it converts all the 'shortcut' event handlers (like click(), keyup() etc.) to on("event", fn) anyway.
