Yeah it can seem a little huge until you get your head around it, but it can actually simplify jQuery coding a lot. It is a nice bridge between traditional CF programming and jQuery DOM coding. Taconite just calls jQuery functions one after the other to do the dirty work. The biggest thing you have to get familiar with is the jQuery selectors - once you have that down, read the taconite description again and look through the demos. It's pretty slick.
