In reality JavaScript is the only game in town for browser
scripting. And if you want to have all those sexy modern features
like popup menus, drag n' drop, rollovers, dynamic panels etc
then JQuery is sooooo much easier than raw Javascript and works
in almost every browser too.

You don't need it, in that you can build applications without
it. But if you want something that looks like it was built
this century then JQuery is pretty important.

And as an added bonus it makes Ajax style programming a cinch too.
Or as much of a cinch as Ajax ever can be.
