jQuery is best javascript toolkit around. Simple and usable even for CSS and HTML noobs (like me...). Ajax, DOM manipulation, animation effects and many more in a readable 1-2 liners of javascript. Impressive number of plugins, unfortunately not all maintained at root jQuery site, which requires a bit of googling. Documentation (as always) could have been better :)

Best allround Javascript-Framework I've experienced so far. Productivity is incredible and community on stackoverflow.com simply the best :-)

Regarding the documentation - it really makes sense to grab a book in order to get started.

jQuery is made to make difficult things very simple. It keeps you away from writing  cross-browser compatabile code, implementing simple aniamtions or recursive methods to update multiple dom-elements. It helps you get things done very quickly and saves you a lot of frustration.
jQuery is a big project with huge community so it’s very good tested and you don’t have problems with finding solutions to your problems.
