it is.. but it's simply not running well on mobile. I mean certain things can pass but JQuery animations are not hardware accelerated by iOS and Android, webkit CSS transforms are. Even HTML5 canvas is not running great.
I'm totally up for using JQuery for code/data logic. The problems I have found were mostly relating to animations and transitions and issues with performance.
JQuery is going to be perfect for him to do on desktop browsers, but he will need to sense for mobile, then sense for webkit and use JQuery to manipulate CSS properties and call webkit specific transforms if he wants animations to run smoothly on mobile devices.
The issue with webkit transforms is that they are really not working THAT great. They are better than JS animations but there are issues in mobile browsers when you are trying to move more then 1 item via webkit transforms. They exhibit visual anomalies or just don't work or some weird crap like that.. The situation is improving though but it's still all feeling a bit alpha in that regard.
