While the plugin is quite nice, what really impresses me is the example page.
All to often projects do not have examples, only have screenshots of examples or have a tiny selection. Raty's example page seems to cover every thing, I have no doubt what this tool can do, or how to do it. It acts as both documentation and a sales pitch. I really wish that other open source projects took the time to demonstrate their awesomeness.
I was especially impressed to see clear examples of interactions that I haven't seen before, such as half-star ratings on mouseover, which actually works a lot better than I expected.
