"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 This can make jQuery UI seem seem bulky or outdated by doing things the 'old' way.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.

"JQuery for the Web Applications"
5/5
What do you like best about JQuery UI?

The easiest way to integrate the JQuery user interface with an existing application. Download the library and use the APIs to convert the standard user interface with a rich user interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about JQuery UI?

Still waiting for an API on the table object. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"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jQuery UI is kind of clunky, heavy, and out of date with all the new frameworks that have came out in recent years/months.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.

"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.

"Custom Widgets, ready to eat"
5/5
What do you like best about JQuery UI?

Much like M.R.E food, that needs only hot water, JQuery UI's provide ready to use widgets that can be directly pasted into any composer including codepen. JQuery UI is easy to use and customize, especially with bootstrap widgets, and themes are easy to add. It reduces production time to less than a tenth. It is directly amenable to zero-code development, though I still like to intimidate people with code, as Linus says stop the cheap talk, show us the code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about JQuery UI?

It is not customizable to many newer CSS libraries and themes, including support for reactive programming. I am sure stream based UI's will be added soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am a programmer and I am coding on Jquery daily basis, JQuery UI is a plugin of jquery where you can find a different type of extension like sortable, UI datepicker, autocomplete and etc, it is a very good tool to use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about JQuery UI?

I like jquery UI but sometimes I don't just because of conflict the code sometime I purchase a theme from the website there is own custom build jquery functions and if you want to include your code you have to make sure the plugin file is already not embedded.

"Good if you have limited options"
1.5/5
What do you like best about JQuery UI?

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.

"JQuery UI - not everything needs to be react or other fancy framework"
4.5/5
What do you like best about JQuery UI?

It is simple to get around with most of the features out of the box. It has many plugins that are simple to integrate with the main library. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about JQuery UI?

It feels a bit outdated now that there are many frameworks and libraries available, but when you need to do something that does not require a full framework implementation it works ok. Changing the design styles can be a PITA. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Review of jQuery UI"
3.5/5
What do you like best about JQuery UI?

JQuery is a compilation of visual effects, GUI widgets, themes combined with Css and html. Most of the top websites use jQuery UI for better interface. jQuery UI interactions can be easily draggable, droppable, resizable, selectable and sortable. Its color animation, toggle class effects are easy to implement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about JQuery UI?

It provides too many UI plugins which somehow effect. ExtJs has a better hand in this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
