The thing I dislike about jquery/mootools and dhtml is that most of those libraries are not built to fail gracefully if javascript is turned off. You can do some really powerful things with things like flot (google uses flot for their stock charts where you can grow/shrink the graph) or scriptaculous -- directv and tvguide (maybe not tv guide now) used it to expand the table row to show you the program information without a popup, etc.

There are other cool things -- http://webdev.stephband.info/parallax.html is one that is neat, but, I find it difficult to find a real practical use for it. And, since it uses css and layers, it does fail gracefully.

You're welcome for the productivity hit.
