Like I mentioned in tutorial and in the other comment, we are doing too much today. With advent of HTML5 we are pushing more and more server logic to client. Today we have javascript templating languages, javascript MVC frameworks, all of them to address the new reality that today web clients do lot more than just manipulate DOM.
Going forward client is only going to get more and more rich, and dojo has a cohesive and consistent solution for handing these "rich" aspects.

If all you need is DOM manipulation then it probably doesn't matter what you use. Heck, with jQuery dropping IE support, if you only need DOM manipulation then why are you even using jQuery?
Dojo has been great for managing our very complex UI - I certainly wouldn't want to do it in jQuery, but that said, I wouldn't necessarily choose dojo for some brochureware website job.
In other words: the right tool for the job.
All I expect from jquery is Dom manipulation thats consistent among browsers.
I applaud competition, but Dojo is not for me.
