Are you writing a mobile only webapp?

In that case you don't need it. It exist mainly to paper over the differences between the different browsers (i.e IE) which you don't care about.

You will find that HTML5 can do most of the nice things jQuery can.

I think you're confusing jQuery with jQuery Mobile. You're right about the former, but the latter exists to paper over the differences between different mobile platforms, as well as provide an HTML-based UI framework.
