You can have a look at these two articles

jQuery is ideal because it can create impressive animations and interactions. jQuery is simple to understand and easy to use, which means the learning curve is small, while the possibilities are (almost) infinite. - http://www.csshook.com/cssexamples/why-we-use-jquery[^]

Yes I have checked few of them..All of them says "Less coding", "animation", "better effects" etc...
However I think many times stuff can be done with less code in asp.net.. still people tend to use JQuery. i think there must be some other reason other than less coding which I am not able to find out.
Also if user have disabled JavaScript in browser there is no use of JQuery stuff we have added, then why should we use it?

Since jQuery operate on client side, you can do a lot of manipulations without going back to server. Thus for any complex interaction and for animation (moving element on the web page or doing some fading), jQuery is fast and powerful.

Well, ideally your web page should work anyway but they might be less elegant or dynamic.
