jquery is my savior in this area. My autosuggest component also features DnD, plus I've made a range slider and a message panel a la Toast, all using jquery plugins. I'm also running a highly enhanced version of Tomahawk's schedule component, with PPR, context menus, drag'n'drop and such. Trinidad is a nice and solid library, sometime I just wish it had more of those fancy components and options you can see on some other libs. jquery helps a lot, but I'd love to see some enhancements so standard components (say, automatic filters on tr:table / tr:column...)
