Calling it "not very good" is a lot nicer than it deserves. It makes no sense to sacrifice functionality for "beauty" in a file upload widget. (And it's not like the rest of it is especially nice looking anyway.)
I'm also really kind of wondering why it's so large. It takes up 258180 pixels by default--that's about a third of my browser window. Unless you're putting this on a page that's meant only for file uploading, it's probably going to take up too much room.
The fact that gigantic, non-functional, unwieldy things like this (and TinyMCE, which happens to have been developed by the same people) are considered the best solutions is one of the reasons I've really come to dislike working with the big open-source CMS's.

- Kudos 16y agoThe "forced fully blown gizmo" is basically a demo for the underlying code and is completely separate to it. Looking at the github repo, there is apparently a new style jQuery UI demo to replace this. As someone who has built code against it, you would be foolish to dismiss it.
