There are a lot of places where jQuery is used for simple traversal (also accomplished with querySelector), especially in XMPP code.
While jQuery will remain essential in the front-end it is probably cleaner to use the native functions at least when only working on XML elements (which jQ isn't technically designed for anyway)
