If there are conceptual reasons that this is preferred over jQuery UI's drag/drop, it probably makes sense to see if those concepts could be added to jQuery UI. jQuery UI's draggables are actually implemented modularly, so you can remove a fair bit of the extra functionality and be left with some basic events. According to Paul, implementing everything as a normal event became prohibitively slow with large sets of draggables/droppables, which is why certain things in their draggables are implemented as callbacks (for speed). I personally think it's worth investigating the possibility of speeding up jQuery's events to make them scale better.
