A:
It handles all the differences between ECMAScript implementations in browsers and provides a unified interface to them. Plus the richness.

It’s not just ECMAScript but also parts of CSS like most of the selectors.

A:
It's a very slick abstraction of common client side javascript tasks with support for all the major browsers. The ajax is very simple to use and it also has some client side UI goodness - easy zebra striping of grid rows, hiding all divs that have a certain css class, fading elements out etc.

A:
It's simply what Javascript should have been right from the start: consistent, expandable, well organized and cross-browser.
