Seam+Richfaces have a fair amount of overlap.  I am using Tomahawk tags in my 
app:

1.  dataTable
I will be switching these out asap to Richfaces.  I currently have no problem 
with them, but the Richfaces on looks better.  I will see how this process 
goes.    If I have to makes substantial changes to my code.  I will try to see 
if I had been taken down the wrong track as SmokingAPipe stated.  I have had 
this feeling before.

2.  buffer
I use this to buffer a error message for an input field and then write it into 
the title of input field for easy mouse over without javascript.  I am sure 
there is an easy Seam or Facelets way to do this.  If any one has suggestions, 
I welcome them.

3.  inputCalendar
Seam now has a date picker and there is no reason not to switch to that.  This 
is all encapsulated in a Facelets tag so the upgrade with be a snap.  In theory 
;)

4. panelTabbedPane
Richfaces has tabPanel and I will switch this out as well.

5. jscookMenu
I have no problems with this tag.  It provides the majority of the navigation 
to my application.  I do not plan on changing this until there is an equivalent 
 in richfraces.

I doubt that all tomahawk components are bad.  If Richfaces or Seam had 
overlapping functionality the why not go with those.  

There should be documentation on the compatibility of different individual 
components with Seam.  It should be easy to find this information.  Possibly 
there could be a section on the wiki that list component sets and each 
component.  Then users could comment on individual components and the Seam team 
could even comment on compatibly.  I think that this would give people a chance 
to collaborate regarding their experience in a more organized fashion than the 
forums.  The bottom line is that Seam rocks and the move component that I can 
use it with the better.  I think if the component respects the JSF spec then it 
should work with Seam.  If it does not then it should be fixed or not used.  
Users need motivation to comment on their experiece with different tags in an 
organized fashion that will benefit everyone.  

If this is going to rival M$ then there should be a large number of OS 
components compatible with Seam.
