At first glance, this does seem a little lighter and more elegant for light projects than jQuery. I do see the chains could get long, but they might well match CSS selector chains I already wrote, so it's type-heavy but not brain-heavy. It's also such a light file that I might prefer it on a one-pager if the interactions are few and simple. That said, any jQuery plugin is lost with this option, so if have to decide against using any/all before I begin and if the possibility exists I'd probably err on the jQuery side.
