Personally, I mostly use Unicorn as a component library to split up functionality from the view code, and as a way to persist data to the backend (which would already be an AJAX call) without the hassle of creating an API, dealing with serializers, etc.
As a side note, we also have a legacy internal log error application that we also use, but it is nice to not have to deal with any of that infrastructure :).

The color scheme is definitely more what I'd like, rather than the audience so that's a good point. I'll definitely add in pictures soon.
