I think wicket should only provide basic components without dependencies to keep clean and simple (and extendable). Libraries like jquery-ui or bootstrap would break this and everyone who wants to use wicket has to use the choosen ui lib too. And there isn't a "all in one" lib suitable for every purpose.
