| > Where's our OOTB carousel, date picker, rich drop-down with icon/subtext, form elements supporting AJAX state, modal windows? etc etc. You might want to take a look at what browsers have been working on lately, because a lot of what you're asking is either already here or actively developed. Some of it driven by the Open UI working group (https://open-ui.org). - Modal: see the <dialog> element, with its focus trapping out of the box, stylability through the top layer, entry and exit animations through @starting-style and the ability to transition discrete properties like `display`, etc. - Rich dropdown: browsers now support popovers, which allow you (without any JS) trigger a popover that overlays the screen in the top layer, and with automatic focus management. See also the work being done on stylable <select> elements, there's a great episode of Off The Main Thread that goes deep into all the work being done to make this happen [1]. - Carousel: see the recent work on stylable <details> elements [2], and in general the carousel project at Open UI. After <select>, the carousel is one of the main focus areas. [1] https://offthemainthread.tech/episode/stylable-select-elemen...
