Ton, the original intention was to replace a lot of the core TiddlyWiki functionality with its jQuery equivalent, by implementing that functionality as lightweight wrappers around jQuery functions. It turned out that this caused subtle incompatibilities with the old TiddlyWiki functionality: things mostly worked OK, but there were edge cases that worked slightly differently. For this reason we decided not to proceed with a wholescale core rewrite. We do use jQuery in the core, and significantly it is available for use by plugin writers.
