Software Developer Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 10/14/2019 "Game changing in its day, but the web has evolved so drastically. " 2.5/5 What do you like best about JQuery UI? Jquery UI made it easy to add commonly used user interface elements into a web page like dialogs, tabs while also providing effects like fading. All this was done while writing very few lines of code than you would have needed using plain javascript. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about JQuery UI?

Digital Marketing Specialist Marketing and Advertising Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 1/18/2019 "It's alright. It's too heavy for modern use." 2.5/5 What do you like best about JQuery UI? My favorite thing about jQuery UI is obviously it's integration with the already popular jQuery. It makes a seamless integration between both and offers various UI components. So if you're trying to build a concept, or just something quick, I think jQuery UI is the perfect solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about JQuery UI? jQuery UI is kind of clunky, heavy, and out of date with all the new frameworks that have came out in recent years/months. Also with the release of HTML 5 it really isn't as necessary anymore as HTML 5 has brought a lot of the features offered by jQuery UI into native. Obviously, native is always better when you're want to build something that's fast, light weight, and works across devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering JQuery UI: If you're looking to test a concept and are already using jQuery, then go right ahead. If you're developing something for production, I would suggest using another framework or working with what HTML5 already natively provides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is JQuery UI solving and how is that benefiting you? Before the release of all these new frameworks and native HTML 5, I would use jQuery UI to quickly build applications, interactive websites, or build concepts as it's really quick to get set up with jQuery UI, specially if you already have jQuery in your environment.

It makes it easy to add useful UI components like date pickers and sliders, without needing to implement a lot of custom logic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about JQuery UI? It has not been updated for a while (last release in 2016). Since then jQuery itself has declined in popularity in favour of newer frameworks such as angular and react. The visual design is also a bit dated and not so suitable for mobile devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering JQuery UI: The functionality of jQuery UI is increasingly being implemented natively in browsers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is JQuery UI solving and how is that benefiting you? The main advantage is development speed, since it lets you quickly add useful widgets to a web application with more functionality or customisability than native browser widgets.
