So far nobody has been able to give me a real reason why not to use jquery other than "because it can get really slow if you use it for the wrong thing."

This uses jquery, and isn't really slow. Why is it the wrong thing for this project?

Because w/out <insert popular framework> it is just not REAL programming.

Because it's well tested for cross browser support on many, many variations of browsers and operating systems.

jQuery can of course be used, it just makes a complex app more complex than it could be were it using a higher-level toolkit.

It's the same reason you use Python or C# for their higher-level abstractions instead of plain C.
