This seems to be the new 'cool'. "Why jQuery whine", whine, whine.

It was a theme requirement, also, Tu Quoque.

Because dependency for 200 lines of code.

Then the rest of your reply was redundant, wasn't it...

May be he does not. May be He uses Dojo, Prototype or any other JS library.
At least jQuery doesn't extends Object and Array like other libraries so it's quite safe to have as an extra dependency.
The source is here:
https://github.com/guillaumepotier/Garlic.js/blob/master/gar...
The code is pretty much idiomatic jQuery js following most of their style rules, layout rules and standard constructs so it's obviously been written as a jQuery extension. He must know jQuery well, hence why not use it?
As for why, well I spotted a bit of sizzle, jQuery.data and the event framework in one pass of a small code base. Given the nature of the library I can even guess what they're all for without reading the code.
Quite a lot more than the inevitable each that is also in there.
