PB Philip B. CTO Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 1/30/2019 "Was a good solution, 8 years ago" 2/5 What do you like best about JQuery UI? jQuery UI is a drop-in JS based UI kit. Incredibly easy to use (even for a monkey with a hammer). Very customizable. Used pretty much everywhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about JQuery UI? It's old. Even in its more or less modern incarnation, it's a UI framework that had a good run - but is now simply replaced with much more modern and robust solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering JQuery UI: If you're considering it for a new project? Don't. There are better solutions out there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is JQuery UI solving and how is that benefiting you? I've used jQuery UI extensively in the last decade (mostly at the beginning of it) in a wide variety of projects. It was instrumental in creating JavaScript based UIs quickly and efficiently. As it turns out, I'm still kind of stuck with it on one major platform for collaboration and it does the job... Although it's clunky. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has been around for awhile and a number of older applications use it... so most of the bugs have been worked out and there is a fair amount of help you can find online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about JQuery UI? It modifies the DOM directly, which means that if you are using it with any framework that does DOM caching then it will invalidate your cache and cause your application to slow down. This may be a little subjective, but the controls look a little dated at this point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering JQuery UI: If you are working with an older framework, like ASP MVC, or ASP Webforms then I think that this is a fine solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is JQuery UI solving and how is that benefiting you? We utilized this as an alternative to basic html controls.
