In most cases where you have any level of complexity, you are better off using jQuery or some other already tested out libraries. That being said, blanket statements about technology choices are suspect because every project has different needs and requirements. You should evaluate things on a case by case basis.
If you're creating a simple brochure website for a small business and literally just need to show one hidden element on a click or do something else very simple, there's a legitimate argument to avoid jQuery. It depends on the level of complexity you need.
The web is filled with unnecessary bloat and I'd like to get rid of some of that.
