There are numerous wild gooseberries and currants (as well as many cultivars and exotic species). Many of them are attractive plants (this one has beautiful leaves besides the small flowers and bright berries) that could easily merit a place in the garden just for that reason. Add early flowers and you are helping native pollinators, early foliage may help your sanity after a long green-less winter! Then there are berries- some so-so, some delicious (which is which is likely a personal choice) also popular with birds. Finally many have fantastic autumn colour- pale in shade, blazing in sun. They will also grow in a wide variety of conditions from moist to dry, often pioneering on rotting logs etc- I imagine they'd be good in rocky conditions too, (though I don't have those outside of rock gardens), and even in pots. I have one pot of self-sown seedlings looking rather bonsai like- and the berries have been on them for weeks! This is another in the series of videos for Mara's Day/Cross-quarter day between Summer Solstice and Autumn Equinox. I will be making a blog post to link all the videos and photos.
