Looking at the source, this also requires jQuery in that unique 'jQuery as a crutch for not understanding the DOM at all' way.

It was born as a jQuery plugin for a couple of projects we had to use Google Maps and that incidentally used jQuery as well, so it made sense.
We aren't totally sure it will move forward as an independent Javascript library but it's certainly a turn it could have. We are rewriting it with Coffeescript now, so maybe is something to consider more closely.
