I honestly can't think of an instance where a carousel is the best UI element to use, yet everyone requests them. Why?
I think it's safe to say they're pretty useful for artists and photographers to show collections of their work.

Have you ever used a carousel on a site where you didn't use jQuery? Would you prefer the size of this library triples? Do you think any one man has the time to keep up with the kind of event normalization and browser shimming that jQuery provides?
* Yes. * I don't really care * Irrelevant. Just sayin'. With angular.js you have absolutely no need to include jQuery as well. Therefore, the tagline will probably hold up until jQuery gets overtaken by Angular.
Looks nicer than bxslider.

Photographers displaying pictures that don't want to lose vertical space is clearly one. In our website we use it for instructional photo succession, I think it works pretty good, I'm open to suggestions (other than videos) to other UI elements that would work better for that that purpose. http://getfinn.com/#instructions
I have never seen your product before, and those four images give me a very clear sense of how it works. I would much rather click through a series of images like this than play a video, even if the video is short.
I would like to see one implemented as Web Component instead of the usual jQuery-function-with-configuration-options: $('.multiple-items').slick({ infinite: false, slidesToShow: 3, slidesToScroll: 3 }); You're always into a world of pain trying to customize these things besides what is available as a configuration option.
You mean like using data attributes? Or like a polymer or angular directive? Not sure specifying responsive option sets would be easier.

I built mine myself but the slick carousel looks pretty good!

Not everybody is concerned about "conversions". If I'd get to redo the public website of our research institute, I'd add a carousel, because it looks cool and modern, and it allows you to showcase the work of different people without favoring one person by giving them the "best space". And even if you have something to sell, it might be valuable to "wow" your potential customer, and to give them the impression that y…
I used to volunteer with my local college club. During that time, the school won a webby. Probably one of the most undisclosed facts about the schools website: beyond students using it, they probably tested the hell out of "does it drive donations" Even nonprofits* have conversions to worry about - they take in donor and grant money. Making sure the site is clear in order to do so is way more important than cool *I c…

Exactly. The carousels on The Verge and Polygon are just awful. The only good implementation of a carousel on mobile (in my experience) is the one on GSMArena, which has large prev/next buttons.
