I've recently been experimenting with some HTML5 mobile app programming, and since that saves you from the problem of IE8 I've been doing it without jQuery. So far I've found I don't miss it at all, to my own surprise. I wrote a few short convenience functions for XHR etc but it's nothing at all like mowing a lawn with scissors.
