How I learned to stop javascripting and love jQuery

Recently, I've had a chance to finally sit down and really work with jQuery for a project. I've been working with Javascript since the days of Netscape Navigator 2.0, and since I more or less knew what I was doing in the language, I was skeptical of all the hype around one library after another. Well for jQuery at least, the hype was right, it is really awesome. So awesome in fact, that I would love to walk people through a few little things that have really impressed me and been extremely easy to implement in jQuery and jQueryUI, including tabbed and accordioned interfaces, and submitting form data through "ajax".
