Can one use jquery instead of JsHelper?

Dear CakePHP experts,

I would like to use CakePHP and jQuery. There are sample source code available with jQuery that I would like to use. But when I read CakePHP documentation, the code with JsHelper is different from jQuery. Can I simply use jQuery and not JsHelper in CakePHP? 

May I ask those who have used JsHelper, what are the advantages of JsHelper over jQuery?

Thank you.
