Why AQuery ?

Android Query

Android-Query (AQuery) is a light-weight library for doing asynchronous tasks and manipulating UI elements in Android. Our goal is to make Android coding simpler, easier, and more fun!

The authors said some where AQuery motivaton  is JQuery ...

http://code.google.com/p/android-query/#Less_Code
AQuery allows the developer to be more expressive and write-less/do-more. Simpler code is easier to read and maintain. Compare the length of these pieces of code that does the same thing.
