I am 22, and I have used jQuery. I loved jQuery, and it was a fascinating library that solved a lot of problems. It is still a great library, if one needs to support legacy browsers.I also think that jQuery influenced the DOM API to some extent; good things were adopted, bad ones were improved.
However today, I don't think it's as useful—I am not saying it isn't useful—as it once was. The overhead to support multiple modern browsers is usually very low, and often it's even none.
I also believe most of the problems people point about jQuery is that at some point a lot of confident, but bad developers, started using it and somehow jQurey unjustly gained that bad reputation.
