I'm on my first "serious" project using js. Some of it is pretty neat and simple and all the AS3 knowledge makes grabbing and treating elements (for animation and what not) very easy. I would definitely recommend using jQuery, and I am using jQuery Transit for some animations. However some of it baffles me, mainly stuff with CSS and positioning elements (which I thought I was OK with) and has added a lot of un-chargeable time. But in the long run I'm sure we will all adjust. I'd really like to learn to approach javascript from a class-based approach, so I must check out some of the links posted on this thread.
Good luck to all making the transition!
