jQuery - The 2nd best thing to happen to Javascript

The first reaction would be ..which is the first best thing? AjAX of course.

The beauty of jQuery lies in its simplicity and small footprint. Javascript indeed should have been the jQuery way right from start. There will be countless developers who must have been waiting in the shed to jump onto javascript but only for the complexities of handling the DOM through JS ( gees. I dont like the word). jQuery beautifully abstracts this complexity of DOM through extremely useful functions and a CSS style compatible syntax. CSS compataibility means developers who know even a bit of CSS would have no probs adopting this framework!

Its been a week now that i have been playing around with it and can praise this to no end. I would suggest you have a look too.
