jQuery provides a library for client side scripting. Drupal runs on the 
serverside and provides both dynamic content and client side script. So it 
looks like a good opportunity to me to work together: Drupal can be used by 
jQuery to build a great community(-driven) site, and Drupal can use jQuery to 
advance it's client-side scripts.

I don't see a conflict here.
