art of the blame can be put on the user experience of carousel plugins themselves. Scrolling through a carousel is less satisfying and more awkward that simply scrolling down a page. Basically, you can't flick through them. Third-party libraries should at least be as useful as native behavior.
On top of user-unfriendliness, most carousels plugins have plenty of developer-unfriendly pain points. Because they are configured with JavaScript, it's often difficult to change the configuration for other breakpoints. These carousel libraries can hinder developers to design responsively.
I've created Flickity to resolve both these issues. For your users, Flickity's carousels are fun to flick. Flickity uses physics based animation so dragging and flicking feels natural. For you, Flickity's carousels are easy to implement. Flickity is designed to be flexible, allowing you to leverage your own CSS to style your carousels responsively.
