Are there any good reasons NOT to use jQuery instead of plain old JavaScript?

I recently discovered jQuery, and I can immediately see how useful and elegant it is.

I'm curious, though - are there any reasons NOT to use it (and just use plain old JavaScript instead)? If there aren't any reasons, should it not be integrated fully into the JavaScript language?

I've used Jquery a few times, and it's just so damn easy compared to using dom. It also seems like it has more accessability than old fashioned DOM.

In the words of Martha Stewart, "It's a good thing."
