180KB? I only see jQuery (70KB uncompressed, it should be gzipped down to ~20KB) and the 2KB plugin on the demo page. So that's about 22KB for this effect when most sites already are including jQuery anyway. I'm actually impressed by this type of UI. Each button is equidistant from the center. This makes it a little bit easier to use for users lacking fine motor control (elderly, disabled, children).

Well, jQuery.com says 179KB. Yes, it gets minified and compressed to less. My point is that there's nothing impressive about it: • it's not novel. Circular UIs are old. DHTML and rounded corners are old. • it's not some advanced code. Rotating equidistant circles is basic trigonometry, not a rocket science. • it's not even a clever hack. JS1K contest had whole games in half of the size, without jQuery to help.
