If you’re working on a rich, interactive UI you’ll find jQuery UI interactions such as draggable, droppable, resizable etc to be a handy base to build upon. These things aren’t straightforward to code yourself.
jQuery UI is not really designed to make your website pretty, as someone suggested – its primary purpose is to provide helpful javascript tools to facilitate a few common user interactions. If you’re making an information-intensive CMS-based site, this might not be very helpful. However, if you’re building a spreadsheet app or a wysiwyg editor or a sophisticated dashboard — in short, a highly interactive app — then jQuery UI will give you a good starting point.
