To me goquery seems more intuitive than scrape, may be because I am more familiar with jquery selectors syntax.

Any reason why yhat guys (ericchiang) created Scrape (and not use say goquery)?

Can you make the matcher function in main.go go away with a simpler (more intuitive) interface/api/dsl?

This is a very small amount of boilerplate around the golang.com/x/net/html package. If you need the huge feature set of goquery, use that. But I find this pretty suitable for my day to day problems.

I agree. Reading the title, I thought scrape would offer something beyond HTML manipulation.

The way that it is now, goquery provides easier and more familiar HTML manipulation.
