Have you checked out jayq or domina? They give you nice wrappers around JQuery and the Google Closure libs and are relatively self explanatory to use if you've messed with any DOM libs before...
Yes, I did. In the end I stick with Domina for DOM manipulation and Google Closure library for the rest. I decided to skip jQuery (jayq) to experiment on doing things "the ClojureScript way," it's only a personal project after all.
