jQuery UI and the Plugin Ecosystem

Alongside the main library, developers created jQuery UI, which offered ready-to-use widgets like sliders, datepickers, tabs, and dialogs. At the same time, a huge plugin ecosystem emerged. Thousands of free plugins appeared for things like image sliders, form validation, popups, and interactive galleries.

This made web development even easier because instead of building everything from scratch, developers could plug in existing solutions.
