Best UI Library to use with jQuery [closed]

Question

What do you guys recommend for a UI library to use with jQuery. jQuery UI seems to have less widgets compared to other frameworks. I've been playing around lately with the Dojo Toolkit which seems pretty nice so far, and I know that there is always the Yahoo! User Interface, but is there anything else?

I also need to consider licensing, something that can be distributed with Open Source software licensed under the BSD license as well as internal-use software.

Answer 1

Those other "ui libraries" depend on entire other frameworks. If you're using Prototype, choose Scriptaculous. If you're using Dojo, use Dijit.

If you're using jQuery, really, use jQuery UI. You can style the jQuery UI "widgets" a number of different ways; take a look at the Theme Roller Gallery: http://themeroller.com/

What do you mean by lack of maturity and polish?

Answer 2

I've found the jQuery UI widget's in various stages. Some are mature. Some are less so.

The beauty of jQuery is that it's great at not interfering with anything else, so I like to use jQuery with YUI for my UI widgets. YUI is mature, professional looking "out of the box", and thoroughly tested against all A grade browsers. I can't say the same for all the jQuery UI widgets.
