jQuery has been my JavaScript library of choice for quite some time. It's definitely one of the easiest ways to abstract away the difficulties of working with lower-level browser-dependant JavaScript when building web-based applications. However, jQuery has its limitations; it isn't really intended to stand in for a framework for building larger interaction-heavy web apps. It simply doesn't dictate how you should structure your applications or deal with higher-level concepts such as request routing.
If you're a jQuery fan and you're looking for a way to help organize development of a more robust JavaScript-heavy application (in the vein of perhaps GMail or Apple's MobileMe), you might want to take a look at Sammy, a new lightweight JavaScript framework, created by developer Aaron Quint as a layer to sit on top of jQuery.
