Manager of Information Systems Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 1/30/2019 "Good plugin for adding common UI elements to a web site or web app" 4/5 What do you like best about JQuery UI? On the jQuery UI site, you can create a custom build for your own purposes depending on what components and features you actually need. So if you just need a modal pop up window, you can include just that feature and not have the bloat of the rest of the package. While there are front-end frameworks that are slowly introducing some of the components that are found in jQuery, the majority of them are not. For a website or app that needs to include a modern user interface, jQuery UI is a useful tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about JQuery UI? Many components and features jQuery UI provides is being included in the latest front-end frameworks (Foundation, Bootstrap, etc.) using native browser functionality. This can make jQuery UI seem seem bulky or outdated by doing things the 'old' way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering JQuery UI: jQuery UI is used all over the web. It can help you bring additional functionality and ease-of-use to your website or application. It will save you time from having to reinvent the wheel and build some components yourself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is JQuery UI solving and how is that benefiting you? I use jQuery UI in some select projects depending on what kind of solution I'm building. It provides some features that aren't quite available in browsers natively yet, or makes those features easier to use with the jQuery UI implementation. Like the datepicker component - not standard across browsers natively and haven't seen it in a front-end framework... so if I need a datepicker sometimes I will use jQuery UI.
