The UI elements in CF are there if you are goodwith what is there out of the box and don't want to get too far into customization. They are there to "make hard things easy". But I agree with Cameron, that if you want it a different way than it works out of the box... you should do something else. jQuery is a good choice.
You can still use the CFAjaxProxy of course, regardless of what you choose for a Javascript Library. Jason
