The issue I've always had with jQuery is that people use it for things that take more time to do in jQuery then they do in pure JavaScript, CSS, and HTML.  Like, I've been baffled for years by people using it for things like expanding / collapsing divs (JS) dropdown menus (CSS) and input forms (HTML).  Finally, W3C has made this push of overstating the additions they've made the things like HTML5, pushing people to learn how to do it the normal way, and now these people are finally using the stuff that's been in there all along thinking these are new features that replace jQuery.

I have no idea why jQuery got so popular in the first place, but I can only assume it's a combination of good marketing and bad teaching.
