Most of these Ajax features are pretty bloated in terms of the amount of JS and CSS that need to be downloaded. The CFwindow example from Adobe's docs needs to download 400+ k of JS and CSS. Jquery on the other hand is ~55k and you can build your own EXT package using only the libraries you need.
Most of the tags you mentioned can be emulated very easily using Spry, jQuery and/or EXT or one of the Ajax libraries on RIAforge. And there is a jQuery plugin for just about anything and everything imaginable. Any of these features can be rolled into a custom tag or a CFC rather easily. I do it all the time at work. And Railo now supports CFC-based Custom Tags for that very purpose. Both OBD and Railo are *very* capable CF runtimes. I have been running my Blog and several other sites on Railo for about a year or so with out a single hiccup. G!
