Robet, Custom alerts, date & time manipulation methods, formatting, string operations, file ops, lots of listbox tools, math functions, form object and c-obj tools, a number of other little things like that and a set of developer tools and palettes I like. Coupled with 4DPop it makes for a pretty robust starting point for me.
Generally I move methods into it when I've used them in databases for a while and am comfortable with the implementation. I'll also add things from tech notes, tech tips or such when I find myself thinking, "wow - that's a good idea." The XML to JSON and back tech note most recently, for instance. I setup my components to build to a folder in my 4D workspace. I put an alias to the component in the database component folders. So when I update the component build it automatically propagates to the other databases I'm working on. It's usually a good idea to put a hard copy in to databases once they are built or 'frozen'. I was on the fence about using components like this for a long time but now I'm a fan.
