jQuery has a fluent interface and often shorter/smaller/more convenient APIs on top of that.
DOM APIs are quite literally 90s era Java-style APIs.
While DOM APIs have pulled in a few niceties over the years, some of them are really anemic (e.g. querySelectorAll does not return a proper Array-like object). Worse is combining them. Almost every API is a single-shot tedious step-by-step chore.
