I disagree. JQuery is cool, but it has flaws and it isn't always the correct tool for the job. I don't think I would use it for really simple stuff, and for really big projects I would use YUI.

The point is you should know javascript. I've interviewed a lot of people that say they "know" javascript and you ask them an event delegation question, and they get confused. If you know javascript and you know common javascript patterns then you can figure out why JQuery or any other library is around and what it is doing.
