JQuery was great when the browsers weren't so standardised; I find it unnecessary now.

It's still great for a lot of things. It's not necessary now but you still write way less code with it and it's got a ton of functions that there are no implementations of in the browser.

Plus you basically get it for free because it's browser cached because 75% of the sites out there are using it.
